I made the center a few years ago from a couple "Summer in the City" charm packs, then didn't do anything with it (surprise, surprise). When I heard my cousin's oldest was getting married, I brought it out. They're her colors (she's a redhead!), and I thought it would make a great gift, but not big enough for the picnic size I envisioned. Fortunately, Jacquie had some Kona Mango that worked perfectly and made it just the right size for two (how convenient is it to have somebody to trade fabric with???). The quilting is all a half-inch apart, which made for some work, but it was totally worth it. Love!
The "rock pockets" in the corners have Velcro for the little cocktail silverware and napkins I'll tuck in, and one corner has two flaps for some small plastic plates, and I made a very cute carrying bag out of the backing fabric for it, complete with grommets and rope handles.
I still have a few threads to bury, but I can ship this one off to the happy couple next week!
