My friend wanted a quilt to give her mother for her birthday. She wanted me to quilt the names of all her kids and grand kids on it to make it special. I gave a her a few patterns to choose from and she chose this one. I liked this one because it had strips to put the names on. I need all the help I can get when doing cursive on a quilt. I need all the help I can get to even write cursive on paper!
I spread the names out by family. She has 4 children, so each child got a corner of the quilt. Then under those names, I put their children's names. I put her mom and dad's name in the middle of the quilt.
I used a disappearing ink pen to mark the names which really helped me. Then I sprayed it with water to get it to go away. Worked out pretty good! Simple pattern made special with some custom quilting.

I love how you quilted the names into the rails. I will have to remember that when I want to make a family quilt. This us more my style than a tree/leaf quilt.

My cursive stinks(at least I think so) I have never tried quilting with it. I think yours looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteI like this idea! I'm going to make a note to remember it. The colors of the quilt are great too, kind of calming to me.
