Aubrey and Kevin's Wedding Signature Quilt

 We have a daughter getting married next month

and she requested a 

Signature Quilt

to be signed at the reception 

instead of the traditional guest book.

Our daughter Aubrey met Kevin

at a Church Singles Camp Out

in the beautiful mountains of Arizona.

It was 

love at first sight

and they have been inseparable since.

A year later, he very romantically took her up to this same 

mountainside to propose.

Their reception will be held in Kevin's Aunts backyard

and they have chosen an informal 

Camping Theme

for the occasion.

Wildflowers of various colors will decorate the tables.

The pattern I chose 

(with her approval)

was a scrappy

X Plus Block

The center blue plus will be the place

for guests to leave their signatures and well wishes.

 Twin Size

 Scraps of fabric

made me think of the the colors of Wild Flowers

 This has been a fun project to work on the last few months.

It brings a smile to my face to see my daughter

so happy 

and in love.

She has waited a while for the right guy to come along

and Kevin is the perfect match for her.

 With each stitch I have pondered how well suited they

are for each other.

 We wish them all the happiness in the world.

 One of the reasons I chose the X Plus block

is the secondary patterns that form.

Notice the "X" for Hugs

And the "O"s for Kisses  :)

The quilt top will be draped over a table 

with an attendant to supervise the guests 

as they sign with a 

permanent

no bleed 

pigma pen

*yes, I have tested the pen

Afterwards I will touch each signature with an iron

that will set the ink.

The quilt will then be ready to be paired up with a backing

and sent off to a long arm quilter.

 While taking pictures 

of the finished quilt top 

I felt a little bit like

Peter Pans shadow :)
