My niece had her wedding dress crumpled in a bag for a year so when we found out that she was pregnant I asked if I could make a baby quilt out of it. She was delighted. I tossed it into the washer and dryer and then cut it on the straight grain of the satin fabric. I used the embroidered sections and the lace and added a pin to the satin flowers from the back to pin on the quilt center during the christening. I used long strips from the skirt satin to make a ruffle all around.
