That is such a great idea.

Make sure they don't get into the very edge. Best wishes to the bride, and congrats to the groom.

This is a neat idea. Good luck, she is a lucky DD.

Wonderful idea! I can't wait to see the finished quilt.

I do have a couple of questions.....
What pattern are you using?

Will you have each individual sign a block or have couples/families sign one block?

Are you going to hand embroider the names?

The blocks are in one basket, and after they get signed they will go into the other basket. THEN after the wedding I will get to put the quilt together for her and new husband. Then all wedding sewing will be behind me.

I have been sewing for this wedding for the last two months, so my quilt projects have gotten a little behind.

May I suggest a piece of fine sandpaper to lay the blocks on to sign them? It will make it ever so much easier to write on the fabric. (Don't forget to get permanent markers for signing.)

PATTERN : modified rail fence, strips cut 3", 2.5" & 2"

Who ever wants to sign can sign, made extras for OOPs' and kids.

Hand embroider??? I don't think so and I am NOT telling DD that is a option
