Twelve years ago my mother in law made the most amazing quilt as a really special wedding gift for me and my husband. She's a veteran quilter and knew that I typically like things to be a little quirky rather than traditional. I loved the idea of guests signing fabric squares instead of the usual guestbook so it was the perfect wedding present! It's such a cool heirloom to be able to pass down to our girls, something that we actually use that doesn't just sit on a shelf. As wedding photographers, I love to see what fun ideas couples come up with and we've seen some amazing ones, but nothing has topped the quilt as a guestbook. It's been twelve years but it still looks perfect and brings everyone joy. My mother in law is truly an amazing person and this kind of gift is absolutely priceless.
We're trying to convince her to make these for other couples, maybe we'll make her a website. Let us know if there's any interest! Check out the pics we took just a few days ago to see how well it's held up over the years :)
I love our quilt! :)
