Once upon a time, my dear friend didn't tell me that she had promised a woman that I could make a quilt out of her wedding dress. Her friend wanted to give it to her daughter for her wedding. I knew nothing of this, until during a visit with the first friend, the second woman showed up at my house (unexpectedly to me) with her gorgeous, vintage dress and started talking about her daughter's wedding. I was absolutely mortified- I thought she was going to ask me to alter it to fit her daughter, something I am absolutely not qualified to do! I wouldn't even know where to begin. Luckily, it turned out she just wanted a quilt with a piece of the dress included. Now that is something I can do for sure :)
Here's the plan for that quilt that I cam up with, in her wedding colors, with a heart made from the lace of both mother and daughter's dresses. I am super excited to be a part of it and can't wait to get started when the fabric arrives.
Pattern: 12" sawtooth stars with 2" sashing and 3" border
Fabric: Kona solids and Little Miss Sunshine border
UPDATE: You can see the finished quilt here :)
