This morning I got an email from Emily, and she mentioned that Aaron’s mother made a cute curtain with some of the embroidered wedding napkins. I started thinking that I have 50+ napkins that guests left on their tables, plus yards of fabric pennants, and a big pile of vintage doilies and dresser scarves. Why didn’t I think of this before? This stuff is going to make such a cute throw quilt for Emily, and it will be a fun reminder of her fabulous wedding (wedding pictures coming very soon, I hope).
I’m not planning to do any hand embroidery on these 8″ blocks, because they are already pretty busy. Also, I’m a little nervous about being able to finish all my other gifts before Christmas.
These blocks are so fun to make — I’m psyched!
What an awesome idea – the blocks are just great, this is going to be a spectacular quilt!
What a great memory!

Wow! I love looking at what you’re sewing!
Gosh, that is a great idea! And they all look so great together!
Oh this is just wonderful…a happy crazy quilt!
This is the perfect project to use the items from the wedding! I’m sure it will be treasured for it’s beauty..and the memories attached to those wonderful fabrics and linens. : )
Martha, what a wonderful idea! Your blocks are so pretty. Emily is so fortunate to have you. It’s going to make a beautiful throw quilt. 🙂
Great keepsake, and I love that you’re using what you already had – quilting at its best.
The fabrics surrounding their initials are very homely and sweet! It will be a treasured keepsake for the young couple.
Wow Martha, I am speechless! This is going to be so very special. What a fabulous idea! 🙂
