I just found this really neat site for an on-line quilt festival and thought I would post an entry. There is a first time for everything!
My entry is the wedding wall quilt that I made for my son and daughter-in-law a few years ago. Under the guise of making a scrapbook for them, I asked them both write the story of how they met and under another pretence got a copy of some of their digital photographs. Where I didn't have photos, I used logos or paper pieced suitable blocks. Because New York City figured large in their story, I even created a map of Central Park, where my son proposed, and pieced a New York skyline. One of the wedding party hung it at the reception so guests could see it while waiting for their photos to be taken. When the bride and groom returned, they were amazed at my 'story board'. I used the 'attic windows' concept to unite the blocks and provide a 'window' into their memories.
The pictures aren't the best, but all that I have.
Here are some detail shots.
Such a cool idea for a memory quilt. Love the concept - the individual blocks are awesome and the quilt as a whole is quite stunning.
