Well I actually am totally intrigued by wedding dresses made into quilts. I have really wanted to make one. But of course I didn't want to cut into my own dress. I bought a really really pretty one off craigslist. I bought it from a lady that said she had over a 1,000 bucks into it and she even had the receipts to prove it. I bought it for 50 but I didn't have the heart to tell her that I bought it just to chop it up. Anyways it has been sitting for a few months since I am not too sure on what I wanted to do. The dress I bought bustled up. So I bustled it and then cut out the train and the sides of the dress. Then I cut out all of the extra material from the train that wasn't part of that top layer. And that kept all the beading everything all together and pretty. I want it to definitely have that wedding look/feel. I plan on putting the bustled train piece in the bottom center. I then bought some black material that was tux like. I actually wanted to chop up a tux too but I couldn't find one cheap enough. But I plan on doing a black and white simple something with it. That's as far as I have gotten. I'm not sure on what to go from there. Even though I only spent 50 on it I still am very hesitant to cut too quickly. I say if your daughter wants you to make her a quilt out of it make a quilt out of it. Why not? That way she can have a beautiful quilt to remind her of one of the happiest days of her life everyday. Look on craigslist. Where I live there were hundreds listed. See if you can find a pretty dress that you like that is similar. Then you can make a practice one and test drive it out on someone else's dress. Or you can buy wedding dress material at Jo ann's. But I wanted something with the beads and lace and such. Either way you can get a feel of what it is like to work with that type of material and get an idea of what you both like. Good luck.
