Wedding Quilts

I Love Weddings – I love everything about them. I love the decorations, the dresses, the flowers, the music, the pictures, and I love being a part of something so sacred and beautiful. That’s why I create wedding quilts. When it is displayed into their home – it’s almost like a reconfirmation every day of their love and commitment. They remember the intensity of their love at the very moment saying “I do” or “I will” and maybe by recapturing the significance of the event, they will become even stronger as a couple and perhaps as a family. That’s why the wedding quilts can be made from bridal fabrics as part of the elegance and value of the quilt. The pattern is kept simple concentrating on the event itself, complimenting the photos not overpowering them. These quilts are works of art to be hung or to cover a bed, but not for daily use. Treat your quilt as you would your bridal gown, keep it safe from spillage and out-of-reach of little dirty fingers. You might consider hanging your quilt using a clear plastic cover (i.e. Husky plastic drop cloth from Lowes). This is definitely “look don’t touch” quilts. Hopefully, your wedding quilt will be treasured for generations to come.


To get a more accurate color of the wedding, include a fabric sample (at least 2” square) – some bridemaids will give the bride their dress to actually use in the quilt – how much useable fabric will depend on whether this can be done.

There are a lot of variables in deciding what kind of quilt you want –

How many pictures do you want and the sizes of those pictures

Do you want more design work (ie Sara’s Wedding) or more pictures (Rusty’s/Alicia’s)

Do you want to hang it or will it be displayed on a bed

Do you want a sleeve sewn in the back to slide a rod through for ease of hanging (optional)

Do you want a cd pocket or history pocket in the bottom corner to hold information about the event/person/persons (optional)
