wedding dress quilt & need help with label text
 
2 Attachment(s)
At Christmastime, my daughter-in-law asked me to make a wall hanging quilt for their daughter's first birthday (in March) from her wedding dress. She didn't give me specifics of what she wanted. They were married on a California beach and I used some of the buttons and trim from her dress. It's not perfect but the top is finished and ready to quilt (planning to straight stitch around the blocks in the sashing) and bind.

I need ideas for what to say on the quilt label and perhaps a name for the quilt. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

First and foremost the quilt is stunning. I have no clue other than "Baby's name created out of love between "Mom and Dad's name". Quilt created with love "Nana (?)" then the dates. I'm not real creative in labeling. Sorry no help! best way I know to repurpose and pass down a wedding dress.

That is beautiful. I have a friend who just recently did the same thing, her daughter is pregnant with her first and asked that she make a quilt from her wedding dress. She cut squares and did applique on them. This is one of the best ideas I have seen for recycling a wedding dress. I love how you used the trims.

WOW, when I was reading your thread, I thought OH no what would I do. You made a stunning quilt!! I can't think of anything creative. I would just put the parents name and the wedding date with some notation of love.

Beautiful wall hanging.
I have no idea what to say on the label. I don't label many of mine.

This is just beautiful! Your daughter is going to be so pleased. I have no suggestions for the label, but you will come up with what is right for you.
