Golden Anniversary Quilt - completed

It took a long time, but the Golden Anniversary quilt was finally finished two days before Auntie 'Lyn's (and Mum's) 80th birthday party so that I could give it to Auntie Lyn & AK at the party and only four years and three months late.














The quilt is made up of 50 "golden" blocks on a sky blue background with a darker blue border.














The border quilting is an undulating feathered chain.














The quilting on the blocks is a feathered wreath.
















The backing is the same fabric as the border, except that I didn't have enough so I inserted a band of strips from the "golden" fabrics.
















The label used a photo from 28th January, 1956 of the beautiful bride and handsome groom (doesn't he look like Humphrey Bogart?)
