[quote] I have my late mom's wedding quilt. She was married in 1931 & her quilt was handmade by my gramma & great gramma & "bee" style quilted by them & the neighboring farm ladies. I don't know if the fabric is feed sack & wonder if there is a way to determine that once it's all together in a quilt[end quote]


Irish Heart, that's a beautiful quilt. What a treasure!

This has been very inspiring to go through the pics of wedding quilts. I need to get on the ball, as I have recieved a request for a double wedding ring quilt from my daughter. The wedding is 2011.

Maybe we should get together to encourage one another!

Wow those are all lovely. Thank you for sharing these pictures with us all. I know I really enjoy looking at all of your beautiful handiwork! :)

Nellebelles: those are absolutely gorgeous. Do you happen to have a pattern name for the middle one or did you design that...again...they are absolutely gorgeous!!!

Y'all are SO talented!!!!!!!! Beautiful quilts - each and every one.

Oh, my! I would ALMOST consider getting married again if I knew there was a quilt like these in it for me!! :)

I'm sorry that we don't have a pattern for that one--we did design it! It was a kind of build it as you go quilt. The mastermind behind that one was my sister though--she really should go into business!
The way we usually go about designing quilts for our kids is we pick a theme. In the case of this one, it was the mariner's compass. My daughter and son-in-law met while working for Holland America Cruise lines. So the center medallion had to be a mariner's compass! Then we auditioned fabric and designs to go with it.
It's always fun working with her, and the kids love what we come up with.
Thanks for all the compliments! :)

Nice quilts. I love Sammy Jo's and I'll bet she did to. They all are really pretty.

love this one.

My avatar is a wedding quilt I made for my daughter and her husband. My sister and my mom also helped. My sister has been quilting for 20 years and had never done a double wedding ring quilt. After helping me, she said she didn't think she would ever do one again!
