The quilt was a patchwork design with a center block. The dress bodice had a beautiful decorative design that I removed and appliqued in the center (wedding dress quilts require knowledge of garment construction as well as quilting!) I used the lace and the lining from the dress in the quilt top.
The quilt was quilted in a feather pattern. It is 54" square, with a 6" ruffled border.
The quilt was to be a gift for Debbie's new granddaughter, so pink bows, ribbons and rosebuds were attached. The quilt is to be decorative, rather than practical, it will hang on a wall, so there was no problem with the decorations not being "baby proof".
This commission has been such fun, I hope Debbie enjoys the quilt and pillows, I really enjoyed making them.
Do you or anyone you know have a wedding dress packed away in a closet? A wedding dress quilt is a great way to display your dress!

How beautiful! What a wonderful treasure. Mine has been in a box in my attic for over 20 years.
