The Wedding Quilt
When Todd and I were married instead of having a guest book, I made quilt blocks and asked each of our guests to sign one. Later I sewed them into a quilt and had it professionally quilted. It hangs in our living room just inside the front door. It takes up the entire wall! Below is a drawing of the quilt to show the thoughtful things our friends and family wrote.
