I agree with Candace. When I got married 100 years ago, my brother insisted his girlfriend be in our family portrait. I never saw her again after the wedding. When I look at my wedding photos, there she is--I don't even remember her name. But those signature squares symbolize the hopes and dreams for the new couple at that time. I'm sure they won't be the only couple who breakup while the quilt is being treasured.
