bluehorse and i are heading this one up as well. we're still considering ideas on how to do this one as a traditional wedding ring quilt may not give us enough room to do individual squares.
details to follow. again.

I would really love to put together a square for Sully and Jen's wedding quilt. But I'm not the kind of person who works with thread and needles. And no 7th grade sewing class doesn't count.

But if it was possible to pair up with someone who would be willing to sew something up for me that would be much appreciated! I already have a pretty basic idea for a square.

you don't have to sew anything ant. you just decorate your square and send it to toni to sew on the quilt. we'd love for you to submit something!

Would like to help on this also. Looking forward to more details...

Well where the hell have I've been? lol I always thought everyone did it themselves? Now I feel dumb. haha But yeah I'll definitely have to make something for Sully and Jen.

*waits for details* Gotta know what I'd be getting myself into before making such a commitment...kinda like getting married. lol

Yep, details would be nice. *waits as well* Also what's a good size for the designs/squares?

I'm willing,just give me some details.

You already know I am in.

this quilt is going to be very different from the other quilts. it's going to be completely traditional and centered on a happy marriage. our board names WILL NOT go on this one but they will be in the accompanying scrapbook. our squares will be solely about jen and sully and not our interests. there won't be any religious symbolism on this one either. for example, i'd like to do the center square w/their names and the date of the wedding. another square could say "for better or worse but never for granted". w/this one, we'll need to know your idea before you do your square to make sure it'll fit w/the theme.
you must do a scrapbook page for each square as well. your page is to congratulate sully and jen and for them to get to know who made each square.

ant - go to jess's quilt square and look at our squares to get an idea of how to do one.

.....i'm all in...

Thanks Kat, I'll check out Jess's quilt and the other quilts as well.

Anyways, I had this idea for a square when I first heard about this project. I was gonna have the GS sun with "Sully and Jen" in the middle of it. And have wedding bands hooked around 2 of the sun rays. That's all i have as of right now, but thought it would be nice.

I have a TON of ideas as well, and have let Kat know about some. A "tradional" wedding quilt really doesn't exist anymore, but can be done in a variety of ways, colors and patterns. If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask, or you can P.M. me.

Ant- with Jess' quilt, I purchased the base squares so the quilt would be more uniform, and mailed them to everyone. They were decorated and then mailed back. I am sure we can do it this way, as it worked great. The only thing I ask, as the quilter, is to make sure anything you use is color-fast and machine washable. Like I said, any questions, just ask.

this is my favorite design;

i like the larger center square on this one;

i love the colors of this one;

i'm seeing a black and white quilt w/silver embroidery. i'd love to have a wedding pic of them to place on the larger center square w/their names and the wedding date below it.
