Thanks for any advice.
You can make any pattern. Some people choose wedding/love related patterns because of the connotation of the name. They're several versions of the wedding ring quilt now. There's the "traditional wedding ring" (sometimes called "English Wedding Ring". There's also several modern versions that attempt to echo the curves of the double wedding ring with straight piecing. Check out the "Modern Wedding Ring at McCall's. (

But you can also make any other one you want. Say the young couple will be making their home in Ohio. You could use Ohio Star blocks or Buckeye Beauty blocks. Say the couple's names are Sarah and Jacob - use Sarah's Choice and Jacob's Ladder blocks. If they're named Sue and Fred, you could do a Sunbonnet Sue and a Farmer Fred quilt. Or you could base the pattern on their occupations or likes.
Or pick any easy pattern to do and use the colors of the wedding or colors they'll have in their living room or bedroom (depending on if you're making a throw or a bed quilt). What you do is up to you.
