    It turned out beautiful and I agree a ring bear's pillow would be a nice tradition that your sons could use at their weddings. :-D :-D :-D

    What a beautiful way to make your wedding dress a memorial to the precious memories of that special day.

    Make it into a crazy quilt! :) :) :)

    This is my first crazy quilt ever. And boy cutting that first cut was very difficult! :) I made it only into a wall hanging, as I'm keeping the rest of the dress to make ring bearer pillows for my boys when they get married someday. :) (awwwww....)

    There is a blue/purple ribbon on one of the blocks that was the ribbon that held my dear grandfather's wedding ring inside my dress when I walked down the asile. He was so dear to me. He passed when I was 16, so I had to have him walk me down somehow. :) (my first born son is named after him too)

    So here is a picture of me in the dress 11 years ago and what it looks like now. ;)

    Very pretty
