Don't worry you can do it ! All three of our children were married in 19 months and they all got a quilt from Mom... And one of my daughters is a quilter so of course her's was more complicated but I managed to help plan and do all the mommie stuff and make the quilts. Just keep going and keep focused. You have a great start when is the first wedding ? It is a fun filled time; enjoy !

This is going to be a knockout. A wedding quilt is just like any other--you'll make mistakes and it won't be perfect. So what? The important thing is that you care enough to take your time to make a one-of-a-kind gift, and they will always treasure it because it came from you. So relax and have fun with it!

Whew---that gives me plenty of time to do a block, rip it out, redo it.....
Well, I sat down and did the first block and had so much fun with it that I decided to do another one today! I am trying to move slowly with it (first time sewing batiks and it is the "Wedding Quilt"), but I think it is turning out pretty good so far! Wish me luck!!!
We did change all of the fabrics as well.....will try to keep this updated!
