Those of you who have done a QR code quilt....need advice
I am going to do a QR code for the back of my DD #1's wedding quilt.
Also, any advice would be welcome. I'm going to use 1.5" squares.
I'm kind of terrified that I'll do all this work, make one mistake and it will be unreadable!

I haven't made one, but I'm planning one. And I have done another quilt with 1.5" squares. My suggestion is do it in blocks, not rows. Sew your 1.5" squares into 4 patches, then 16-patches, etc, until they are a manageable size. Then, you can put the quilt together like any other, assembling the rows. I hope you have a design wall.
Biggest danger will be turning a block -I like to chain piece, so all the sections end up linked together, in the right order and orientation. That helps avoid flipping something. And mark the top left of each section, to help keep everything upright.

Since I was contemplating doing it in rows, this is definitely something to consider. Thanks!

If you squint should you see a picture? Do they say something? To me they look like random squares or is there a pattern?
I need a quilt to speak to me these don't yet, although I have made one.

If you have a smart phone, you can scan a QR code and it will take you to a web site. Lots of places are using it for advertising these days - you have probably seen them without realizing it. I am thinking about making one that directs to my blog
I would like to know where the wedding one is going to point when it's done, though.
