I cannot imagine how this could have been done any better. It is truly a family heirloom treasure now. Congratulations on a beautiful transformation. I think there will be tears shed when she sees this !!

I would treasure this quilt. It is incredible.

I can't describe how amazing this is. I never would have thought you could make a quilt out of a wedding dress. If I ever find a pretty wedding dress in a thrift store that I want but have no use for, this would sure be a great idea!

Beautiful! Great job. I know you DIL will be overjoyed.

Beautifully done, she will love it to bits and treasure it forever.....better than the dress being in a box on top of a shelf, forever.

Thanks so much for the nice comments. I hope my DIL likes it as much as you do. I want to make a muslin storage bag before I mail it to her in the next week or so.

Also, I did something that I had seen suggested on the board. I sewed two sides of the rectangular labels to the bottom back corners of the quilt when I added the binding. Before I sewed the other two sides down by hand, I tucked in small pieces of all the fabrics used in the quilt. If it ever needs repaired, original fabrics would be available. Now, if only someone will remember that.
