What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

At one point in my life I thought it would be a good idea to make a family heirloom wedding quilt … one which could be used by each newly married member of the family for a short time after the wedding. As it turned out I am glad I didn’t do it because I have heard of families where the extended families attended two weddings very close together and far apart so getting the quilt from one couple to another would have been difficult, even if the first couple had returned from their honeymoon.

I still like the idea ...

Lovely … suitable for a bridal suite!

I prefer the first one, but the second one is very interesting.

I like the first design …

… love the second. The wedding rings are in the quilting, not appliqued as usual, but the romantic appliques shine.

For practical purposes wedding quilts made in these fabrics would have to be put away when children are old enough to start jumping on beds, until they leave home!

Of course, if one of the couple is a mechanic who comes home and sits on the bed the quilt would be forever in storage for future generations.

My favourite is the second one.

Not quite an all white wedding, but I like it.

Love the second one … very interesting!
