Ok my daughters made fun of my wedding dress, lace lace and more lace with a hoop! you get the picture. anyhow they said there is enough lace there to make a dollie (sp) for the whole state of Ohio. I still don't know why they didn't want it for their wedding,ha!!! Now what can i do with it in quilt. Any suggestion?

Depending on the lace pattern, you could put it over solids to show off the pattern. Grandmother's Fan also comes to mind.

I made a quilt using fabric for this but the lace would be pretty too.
You could tie the gathers with ribbon or something else decorative. Each square could be different colors... |
My daughter didn't want my wedding dress either ( old victorian style, lace, lace and more lace) so I took it to a seamstress and and had Baptismal gowns made from it. I had one done for each of the children for when they had kids. We didn't have any family heirlooms, so to speak, but now, they each have one.
|
are you really sure you want to cut it up? |
I would save it and ask one of my granddaughters if they wanted to wear it. Tell your daughters that their daughters will make fun of their dresses one day too!

I like the Christening gown idea or a gown to bring the baby home from the hospital in.

I am actually going to cut up my mom's wedding dress and make a tote bag for my niece who is getting married in June. That way she will have a little of her grandmother with her including a lipstick stain which I do not plan to remove.
Actually, will probably make two as my other niece will get married someday as well. |
