My grandson got married this year and his mother and I together made them a king size wedding ring quilt. It is a tradition for the mother and grandmother to make this together and it was a very rewarding experience.
I started a wedding quilt for my daughter, got the top finished but still need s a couple of borders. Maybe I can finish it for her first anniversary..
This first quilt I ever made was to be a wedding gift. However, the engagement was broken. I was so saddened by this that the quilt sandwich is still in a storage bag. It was an Irish Chain.
How exciting!!! Pat you give so much. I love your group. Good luck everyone!
A wedding gift quilt I made used a panel with a sweet quote surrounded by pieced blocks.
My most recent wedding quilt was a chandelier pattern, in golds, silvers, and snowflakes.
My favorite wedding quilt was for my sister. It was the Heartfelt Quilt. She was so happy that I made it for her!
I have not made a quilt as a wedding gift. I think that if I was going to do one it would be a lovely picnic quilt that I would pair with a picnic basket for the gift.
Thank you for the opportunity to win the book!
My most recent quilt I have made for a wedding was a”stack and whack”. It looks like a kaleidoscope so my label said something like life being like a kaleidoscope of colors of many adventures. Will be gifted in September.
I’ve made 2 quilts as wedding gifts. One was the Jelly Belly Bar and the second was Jelly Roll Sizzle. I enjoyed making these for family members for their weddings.
The very first quilt I ever made was a simple one for my son’s wedding in 2009. It was nothing that would win a ribbon, but it was made from my heart.
Each of my three kids received wedding quilts. One was a beachy volleyball quilt which is how they met; one was sort of scrappy and old-fashioned just like my daughter and one was in shades of blue, my DIL favorite color.
I have made two wedding quilts. Pattern is called Laurel Meadow. Two others I have made are for anniversary presents and are waiting for those dates to arrive.
I have made several wedding quilts for family and friends including a log cabin, Medallion, and a 50- 40 or fight block quilt.
I have made several wedding quilts of which the only one I remember the name to is Log Cabin. Sometimes I make two lap quilts instead of a bed quilt.
I have not made a wedding quilt, but I did give my son and daughter in law a quilt a beautiful jacobs ladder purple and teal to them after they were married
Oh my goodness I have used lace straps from my sisters wedding dress my wedding dress and my sister in laws weddings dress to enhance satin on many celebratory mug rugs as gifts. So fun to find ways to use beautiful lace.
Quilts I have given as a wedding gift have been very neutral with Shannon fabric as the backing.
Wedding quilts are on my “want to do” list. I’d love to read this book!
I am fairly new at quilting but I love reading… the book sounds so interesting 🙂
I have not made a quilt for anyone’s wedding gift. But I have made several quilts for other occasions. Baby, Christmas, Birthday, and Graduation gifts have been made so far.
No weddings in my family, but I do have the double wedding ring template that is on my bucket list to make. I want to do a scrappy one. Gotta do something with all these scraps I have, and I think it would be a nice way to use them. See all the remnants of previous quilts.
I love novels! I love reading quilts novels and would love to have this book!
My favorite wedding quilt to make is the pattern Yellow Brick Road. It uses fat quarters is very easy and I make it lap size and in colors to either coordinate with their living room, if I know what those are, or my favorite was when I had a bunch of gorgeous flannels in fall colors and I used those for our niece’s fall wedding.
I have not been quilting long, so have not had the opportunity as yet to make a wedding quilt. That could be in the future for my granddaughter when she is old enough. I enjoy your daily videos and have learned several tips from you. This book looks like a fun read.
The only quilt I made as a wedding gift was for our youngest son and his new wife. It was a mashup of 2 GE designs. It was king sized and turned out beautiful.
I have not made o double wedding ring quilt but my grandmother did about 1940. one of by brothers has it. would enjoy reading the book!
I am new to quilting so I have not made a quilt as a wedding present yet. I will get there! I have fallen in love with this craft. Thank you so much for all you do!
I have not finished any wedding quilts. I have an in progress altar steps. I love listening to books. Would love a page dedicated to the different authors who include quilts in their books. Would love the new book but only if it comes in audio. I only read book copies or kindle copies in waiting rooms. Not often. Need audio to enjoy the book from start to finish. It’s 4:15 am here when your live comes up so I always have to rewatch it as my eyes take naps the first time and I miss parts. Love your videos. Thank you for inspiring.
I would enjoy reading.
Love quilt related books. 💕
It was in the early 80s and I made a quilt for a wedding made of 9″ squares and it was bed size. I would love this book. Thank you.
I made a churn dash for my son and daughter in law for their wedding.
I have never made a quilt for a wedding gift. My mom made us the double wedding ring in black, white and red. It is beautiful!
I have made several Double Wedding Ring for a gift to my grandchildren! They were a lesson in patience. Each one got to pick the color they wanted. They cherish the quilts.
I have not yet made a quilt as a wedding gift. This book looks really interesting!
I love reading and quilting. my stepdaughter has family that live in Waxahachie TX it’s up by Dallas
Enjoyed the video today. Looks like a book I would enjoy reading
Hi Pat I’m newish to quilting and not as yet made any wedding type quilts. I’ve made ‘Peter Rabbit’ baby quilts and some Christmas theme quilts. The book sounds like an interesting read.
Have not made a Wedding Ring quilt yet, but have the pattern and templates. Now to get the courage to make one.
The book sounds like it would be a good read.
I made a modern quilt for my daughter as a wedding gift. I used the colors she had in her wedding invitation and surprised her! It turned out great!
I made the Lover’s Knot top for my daughter. Still needs to be quilted
I have made wedding ring quilts, cat quilts, halloween quilts as requested for wedding gifts! I’m currently working on a wedding quilt for a bonus granddaughter in dark green/white/grey/black – her choice – that has 1024 3 1/2″ hst in it!
Have always wanted to make the Wedding Ring quilt. Haven’t had a wedding to make a quilt for however my mother and I made my wedding dress. My contribution was hand stitching the lace. Love BOOKS.
I have made small quilt projects for wedding gifts. I love to read.
I am reading a series of quilting books right now or Amish family life books from Lancaster county. Series 3 I read them every morning and evening chapter each time it gives lots of information about their life and their quilting, bees and quilting in general and sometimes even shows, the pattern at that they are quilting. Reading is my love besides sewing. This is how I start my day and how I end my day. The series is by Beverly Lewis, who is one of my favorite writers about Amish life so I passed that I want to quilters.
I have made different variations of wedding ring quilts for my children’s weddings.
I would the book
I have not made a quilt for a wedding yet but I have always loved the Lover’s Knot Quilt pattern for a wedding gift.
