I did make a Wedding Ring quilt for my son and his new bride (used the colors that the bride was using in the wedding) and I plan to never make that pattern again. My other son and his new bride picked 4 different patterns and I picked the final pattern. They wanted a scrappy plaid. All fabric came from my stash except the backing. I suggest you try what I did by asking the bride and groom.Reneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718385157077047562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260884226464668167.post-16155160699137413242011-04-23T17:09:50.122-04:002011-04-23T17:09:50.122-04:00uhoh!!! left a post on your Blog.........but not &...uhoh!!! left a post on your Blog.........but not "over here"!!!

I love how it's a contemporary twist on a traditional pattern. It looks impressive but really isn't that hard and if you want to make it very special she provides a great hand-quilting design in the pattern. I also think that it would look good in pretty much any fabric, making is easy to tailor to the recipients' tastes.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741706511441876330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260884226464668167.post-38790930246887900272011-04-18T14:49:30.588-04:002011-04-18T14:49:30.588-04:00A siggy quilt of any kind is always a wonderful id...A siggy quilt of any kind is always a wonderful idea--whether done beforehand in embroidery or done at the reception in pigma pen. Another favorite of mine--if your friends have a sense of humor--is the "Contrary Wife/Ornery Husband" block. It's not that hard, and you can make it in wedding colors or in colors of their birthstones if they're at all complimentary. <br /><br />Food for thought if nothing else--this was fun!<br /><br />Dot<br />dminshall67@yahoo.comDothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923216232251226201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260884226464668167.post-817664900039627382011-04-16T22:07:22.843-04:002011-04-16T22:07:22.843-04:00Why not do a 'tag' quilt?

Send out a note to these guests, asking them each to write their name (maybe family could do a small message too). Handstitch these into a block. This makes it a very personalised quilt - with all of their favourite people included. I have done this for my best friend, and we hung it at the reception for everyone to see!! I had lots of emails from guests asking about the progress - and the bride & groom didn't see it til they arrived at the reception. Good thing too - cos with all the tears, her makeup needed re-touching!! xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260884226464668167.post-63638945520366844552011-04-16T09:53:15.792-04:002011-04-16T09:53:15.792-04:00How about asking them what color they would like, ...How about asking them what color they would like, whether it be the color of the bridesmaid dresses or something that will match their home decor. I did the garden twist for a wedding gift and it reminded me of the wedding quilt. Made matching pillowcases and put it in a basket. The possibilities are endless.

I think that's a cool gift for the newly weds. I used the pattern from QuiltDad that's in the FatQuarterly...I think. It was easy to put together. I even used embroidery floss to "carve" our initials and wedding date into the tree, with a heart around it. He loved it.SoSarahSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11935334325843850835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260884226464668167.post-29673572401911161922011-04-15T14:06:03.983-04:002011-04-15T14:06:03.983-04:00Years ago, I made some of my sisters wedding gift ...Years ago, I made some of my sisters wedding gift quilts. First I sent them pictures of quilt designs and they chose which they liked best, then I asked them what color scheme they wanted. Then I went from there. They got a quilt design they liked in a color scheme they chose, and I didn't have to fret about whether or not they would like what I made. <br /><br />But I always think a surprise is nice too!<br /><br />MGMMary Grace McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994668228832105911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260884226464668167.post-91869889943791979172011-04-15T12:50:38.416-04:002011-04-15T12:50:38.416-04:00I always give them a coupon for a quilt...after th...I always give them a coupon for a quilt...after they get married.
