...I like all the ideas. I know not much help there.<br />Just try to set a budget for yourself. Getting custom made fabric isn't cheap at all. <br />Maybe one central focus panel, then other blocks to border that with help from family and friends. =DCheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401901024509719512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800978518990634193.post-19862744886312435102012-06-03T04:37:47.278+10:002012-06-03T04:37:47.278+10:00So many ideas!

She says the Zombie Apocalypse is bound to happen any day now! (BTW where in the world did this whole Zombie thing come from! I just don't get it! LOL) <br />OK Back to the memory quilt (Just in case my Daughter is wrong) I love the idea of photos and the letters! But I find that if all they are is photos i think it is a little overwhelming! Having people write on blcoks can be great (did that for a friends wedding) but you don't have much 'control' over what it looks like (sloppy handwriting like mine) or what they write! Sepia or B&W pulls this together beautifully!! <br />Whatever you decide I can't wait to see it!! :)Josie McRaziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920829397288239105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800978518990634193.post-88155771707907586032012-06-02T22:25:35.233+10:002012-06-02T22:25:35.233+10:00Three of us organised a family block quilt for a c...Three of us organised a family block quilt for a cousin's wedding over the last year. We picked fabrics, sent out packs, and asked 20-odd family members, all ages/genders, to each make an applique block of something meaningful to them/about the happy couple. It worked brilliantly. And only myself was a quilter out of the whole group...<br />Things that made it work:<br />- sending out the fabric pack, plus colour cards to explain what colours of anything else could be added: strict colour palette = happy recipients<br />- precutting the base blocks (if again, would draw in the square within which to applique: even with instructions, people have no idea about seam allowances)<br />- deadlines.Taisia @ Piecing Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517119263868985705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800978518990634193.post-54410842956398152722012-06-02T21:59:22.694+10:002012-06-02T21:59:22.694+10:00I love the letters idea!

I know in that era they often had drowns or veils with lovely patters.

The newspapers sound like a great idea, not just for her birth but maybe of significant other events in her life? You could ask relatives and friends to make a block rather than just sign one, which would be less work for you. You might need to give them instructions on sizes, etc but it would be up to them how they interpret the brief! All you would have to do them would be join them together. Look forward to seeing what other suggestions you get.Celtic Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033484481693226138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800978518990634193.post-85559357162440320692012-06-02T21:47:24.457+10:002012-06-02T21:47:24.457+10:00Love #2 and #5!Love #2 and #5!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201021696156401734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800978518990634193.post-74607133215673059412012-06-02T21:44:34.340+10:002012-06-02T21:44:34.340+10:00Love the letters idea- what a beautiful idea for a...Love the letters idea- what a beautiful idea for a quilt!tartankiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15774906579757153958noreply@blogger.com
