Connie had a bed runner made from her wedding dress. She decided she would prefer a quilt, so she sent it to me, with the leftover fabric and lace from her dress.
To adapt the runner into a quilt, I cut about 12" out of the center, matching up the lace going down the quilt, and added a border with lace on each side. I quilted the center in a feather pattern around the lace, and another feather design in the border.
