Kevrey's Signature Wedding Quilt

A few weeks ago I showed you the 

Signature Wedding Quilt

I made for our daughter Aubrey and 

her husband Kevin

Aubrey requested a quilt that could be signed instead of a guest book.

We decided upon a scrappy

X Plus Block pattern

We placed the quilt on a table right at the entrance

of the yard where the reception was held.

With nieces and nephews taking various shifts

to watch over the quilt

we encouraged the guests to leave 

their happy thoughts and congratulations.

For each block, I made a blue "Plus" center

as a nice spot for the messages

Micron pens

with permanent ink

were available on the table.

The pens do not bleed

are archival quality

and worked perfectly.

I've now touched them up with a hot iron,

which also helps set the ink.

These messages will bring such happy memories

in years to come.

The couple has received such love and support

as they begin their lives together.

Now they have a preserved memory

of children's signatures

from an age when they were learning to write their names.

And signatures of an older generation

who will someday pass on.

Aubrey and Kevin were very appreciative

of family and friends 

who traveled from long distances to attend their wedding.

Both sides of the family

came together in support of this marriage.

We like to call him "Kevin Heaven"

and 

they adore our Aubrey, too.
Now when they walk in the door, we call them
by their blended nickname
"Kevrey"

Last night after a family dinner

and with the help of nephews

we placed the quilt over a chair

so Aubrey and Kevin could read their messages.

The top will now be sent off, along with the backing 

to the long arm quilter 

as the next step in

preserving these treasured memories.
