I wanted the signatures to be part of the top, having each guest write on a piece of the fabric. I planned on piecing it together after the wedding. I value all of your suggestions and I'm sure hoping I don't have a problem. One member suggested putting them on freezer paper. I don't think any of the guest quilt and I would not be surprised if some signed their name on the paper. One member thought this would not be a wise choice of a pattern, so now I'm doubting a bit, but I really like that pattern. I not only wanted a signature but also a sentiment phrase or words. Keep your thoughts coming, I know I could figure out something nice with all of your help. I am open to suggestions on other patterns as well. Thank you Grace
