i finally got around to making our wedding quilt (which doubled as our guestbook)! i used the same tutorial that i used for this baby blanket, but i changed the dimensions to a twin-sized quilt. i pre-cut the quilt squares/flag pennants, and laid out fabric markers for people to sign them with at the reception. it turned out exactly as i imagined, and i'm really excited that i created our first family heirloom! i especially enjoy glancing at it and reminiscing about that special day, and all the special people in our lives who were there.
here are a few of my favorites:
the peach polka-dot flags are from a small batch of fabric my grandma gave me when i was a kid (we both shared a love for sewing). she and i were very close, and even though she passed away over 16 years ago... i felt like she was right there next to me the whole day. i'm glad i could incorporate a small part of her into the quilt, too.
