Wedding Dress Quilt for Misty's Grandbaby

Misty had a pretty satin wedding dress, with lace motifs on the skirt.  The bodice and sleeves also had beautiful lace with lots of beading.  She wanted a baby quilt for her grandbaby who is due in a few months.

I put the center front lace from the bodice in the center of the quilt, and lace from the sleeves in the corners and centers of the inner border.  The quilting design gave the illusion of two diamond shapes around the lace.  The outer border was motifs from her skirt, with a feather quilting design.

Antonia's Wedding Dress Baby Quilt

Antonia wanted to make a baby quilt from her wedding dress. The dress had some really pretty embellished embroidery going down the skirt and on the bodice.  She wanted to use as much as posible, so I placed the larger pieces on each side of the center, with a smaller piece above.  We agreed on a swirl design for the center quilting.  The inner border was straight lines 1/4" apart, and the outer border was quilted in a feather design.

The heart on the back of the quilt is made from her mother's dress. She is expecting a baby, so the label will be filled in after the baby is born, and placed near the heart.
