Wedding dress quilt?
#1
Has anyone done a wedding dress quilt?
Or know of any patterns...or anything?
I might go to a thrift store and pick up a cheap wedding dress to do a test run (plus there will be no memories/attachments if I mess up!!)

I didn't do a quilt, but I made my wedding dress, and so I had leftover pieces. So when I started quilting, I would include a piece in a corner of each quilt I made for a while. Eventually I gave up that plan, and, after several moves, I lost the fabric (and the dress).

I am procrastinating on one....I found 108" wide heavy cream muslin and am going to attach the train of a wedding dress down the middle. Then I am going to use parts of the dress to applique flowers and vines/leaves on the rest of the quilt....
I'm a bit scared, but that's the plan LOL!
