There are many beautiful patterns out there and you will get some great ideas from board members on here. I suggest. that you have the bride-to-be look at Pinterest or other web sites for quilts that she likes and go from there. Maybe the non-sewing sister could be your cook and fix meals for you all while you keep on sewing.

I just love the idea of a Lover's Knot quilt. This is one that can be done quite easily from a distance. I agree with who ever mentioned this in another post. It is one of my favorite quilts. Made one for my younger daughter.

I like this idea! Or let that sister do some work, but have her rip it out and redo it when it's not right. She might even learn something that way. Or she'd be happy to pay for materials lol

This pattern is in the May/June 2013 issue of LOQ. It’s called “Emily’s Wedding Quilt.” Here is a pic of the cover:

You probably already thought of this, but if you are using two machines to make blocks, how are you going to make sure all the points match up? I made the mistake once of using two different machines to make quilt blocks. The 1/4" seam was just slightly different on each machine. When I put the blocks together, they didn't match. I found a way to make it work with sashing, but that's another story. The only answer I can come up with is to use paper piecing. It will ensure that your blocks are the same regardless of the sewing machine and who is doing the sewing.

If you want to do a DWR, I would highly recommend Eleanor Burn's DWR pattern. I was very successful with this technique. I have made two and used the applique method.

Good luck and I hope this helps!
