I am putting my daughters one together now. I ironed the squares to freezer paper. Put blue painters tape around where I did not want anyone to write. We had them in a box on the sign in table. Did not work out too well. I had to announce during the reception to please go sign a block. Then we got quite a few but I don't think everyone signed. But her quilt will be about a queen size so not too bad. I have 5 inch squares and I put a 2 inch boarder around each square then sewed them together in rows. I only have a domestic machine so I will only sew half together so I can quilt easier then put the 2 half's together after it is quilted. I also pieced the back. My daughter had gone shopping with me before the wedding for accent fabric. Well we got a lot of accent fabric so I decided that she picked it so I would make the backing with it. lol And I had a few extra signature squares I could not fit on the front so I put them on the back.
