It's a really easy pattern to either hand-piece or paper-piece since the individual pieces are big. The Quilter's Cache link that I provided has good instructions and a paper-piece pattern. If it's not the size you want just reduce or expand it through the copy machine.
For the fabric selection, I was very excited to find some leftover Christmas Angel fabric in my stash as well as a dark carnation print with maroon background and the allover big pinkish carnation motif. Because the girl is a W&L Pi Phi, the wine fabric with the strands of pearls is very apropos. Some of those female Generals wear pearls even when they are working out. The print with the tiny hearts worked for a wedding quilt without making it cloyingly sweet.
If I had had more than a week's notice (really 4 days when considering it had to be mailed to arrive by this Sat), I would have hand-quilted it.
The last picture where the quilt is on the grass is actually upside-down.
And I learned something from this. The future groom is a VMI grad so I used the VMI logo. Breathesgelatin was kind enough to inform me that the logo is called the VMI Spider which makes a lot of sense when you look at it.
