I guess this problem illustrates the risks of having autograph quilts. You certainly expect to have some names autographed that you don't really want later, but the problem sure came up quickly on yours -- before the quilt was even finished! I agree to leave it unless the couple requests a change.

Unless the circumstance is such that it would be hurtful to someone, I would leave it as it is. If you absolutely feel you have to remove it, maybe you could carefully cut the square out, pen a nice message on a new square, and hand stitch it over the empty space.

I agree with Candace. When I got married 100 years ago, my brother insisted his girlfriend be in our family portrait. I never saw her again after the wedding. When I look at my wedding photos, there she is--I don't even remember her name. But those signature squares symbolize the hopes and dreams for the new couple at that time. I'm sure they won't be the only couple who breakup while the quilt is being treasured.

I agree with Candace. Our history is a part of us and when the newlyweds see the seperated couples names, they will remember events that occured with them in the past and be greatful for their wishes. I look at pictures of some of my friends now and remember and smile. And most of them are walking down different roads now.
