Wedding Guest Quilt: Part 2 (fabrics and plan)
3 Attachment(s)
Hello all!
I posted a little while back about the wedding guest signature quilt that I am going to be making. I have made my decision on a pattern and bought the fabric! Here is a mock up of the pattern I'm doing. It is warm wishes on point. [ATTACH=CONFIG]409874[/ATTACH] Here is a numbered row chart for piecing it together. [ATTACH=CONFIG]409875[/ATTACH] Here is a photo of the fabrics! I went shopping today as a reward for finishing a paper for grad school. [ATTACH=CONFIG]409876[/ATTACH] As several people suggested, I will not be piecing the quilt together until after the signatures have been done. I'll just be pre-washing and cutting the muslin for the signature squares, ironing them to freezer paper and somehow framing them to allow for easier signing. Wish me luck! ~Rae |
Beautiful fabrics and the pattern is excellent for your purpose. Be sure to share a photo when it's done! Great planning!

Be sure and allow for the seam allowances when laying out the squares to be written on. Ask me how I know!!! LOL!! :)

We did this too. They are the colors for U/DE also. Love them. I thought if you could have a small hoop, put the fabric in and have the hoop on top, or a sticky board, it would be held taut. Also painter's tape might work, onto poster board. Have fun.

Beautiful fabrics!

I bought 3yds of 118" wide muslin, thinking it would be easier to pre-wash, press, fold and cut than 10-12yds 44" muslin. Boy was I wrong. My 6" strips are a little wonky in places, no more than 1/8" off. Should this matter?
