So yes, I did finish the wedding quilt in time! Ta-da!
Yes, it covers the top of a queen sized bed with enough length for a decent turn back.
I haven’t taken a full photo of the back! But you can see it at the top of the above photo. There’s a strip running down the length made up of a block of each of the fabrics from the front, and the rest is a coordinating print from the same range (designed by Carla Miller for Westminster/Rowan fabrics, but quite a few seasons old and very difficult to find now).
I quilted it either side of the zig zags. By the way, I based this quilt on Anna Maria Horner‘s Folk Dance Quilt (there’s a link to the pdf on her blog) but I adapted it with this fantastic tutorial by Amandajean of Crazy Mom Quilts so that I wouldn’t have to work with triangles.
The binding is pieced from all thirteen fabrics, and sewn on by machine with reference to Rita’s binding tutorial. I have to be honest and admit that I missed a few spots so still spent an hour or so sewing those in place by hand. But anyway, it’s finished and was delivered to the wedding! I told the mother of the bride that I’d have it back if the bride and groom don’t like it (is that cheeky?). I reckon it was at least 30 hours of work all up. Whew!
