Wedding dress quilt
#41
Jane, the throw is so lovely. I'm sure it will be treasured.
I never had a wedding dress and so this has been the most charming thread. How blessed you all are.
I got married in a houndstooth suit, green and white.
I am blessed anyway. Thank you all, Ruth

I bought a dress off craigslist for 50 bucks to make into a quilt. It was so pretty. The lady said she paid over 1,000 for it. I didn't want to cut mine open. My hubby and I want to take wedding photos again at our 10 year anniversary (5 years in and it still fits, hopefully it will fit in another 5:) ) Anyways it was SOOO easy to cut into someone else's dress! If I screwed up too much I wouldn't feel all that bad. I can't decide what pattern to do. So I have the dress apart but it is sitting and waiting. Good Luck!
Have you chosen a pattern?

I'm so glad that no one has done this with our family wedding dresses. My niece just got engaged, and at her wedding she is going to have a display of 4 generations of wedding dresses. Here she is in them, but she isn't wearing any of them. They will just be on display. We are so thrilled to have them.
