I made one for my daughter when she got married. I made all the blocks before the wedding and assigned my niece to go around to each table with a basket of blocks to sign (and/or leave a message). I brought several pieces of sandpaper to put below the signature blocks to use when signing (it keeps the fabric from sliding). My niece told everyone not to write within an inch of the outside edge (and she was there to supervise). Be sure to have several pigma pens available and purchase a large tip (#8) to get a nice bold signature. Do not send the blocks out unless you are prepared to send pigma pens too and then you have to deal with people not getting back to you. After the wedding I did seek out the people who could not make the wedding to get blocks from them. Good luck, it is such a nice idea and so much fun to see what people either wrote (or drew) on the blocks. We did have some very creative blocks. After the wedding be sure to dry iron all the signatures to heat set. Good luck!
