{Post #92} Progress on Replacing Boo Boo Blocks

Making wonderful progress on the wedding quilt!  I sewed in 3 pictures and removed the scribbled blocks and moved one of the pink blocks.  I am really liking this.  I debated whether to use black and white pictures or color.  I opted to go with color, and I think it adds to the quilt overall.

One of our church members is a pastor in Japan.  He wrote a Japanese greeting on his square.  I wonder what it says?


The top left picture on this next block is the bride and her daddy at rehearsal.  I love both of their expressions.  The bottom right picture is their best man and maid of honor, who are siblings.


A relocated pink block and another picture...from their engagement photos.  I have my resources!




{Post #91} Wedding Quilt

Here is the wedding quilt with signatures and well wishes.  I think most of the people at the wedding got to sign it.  Some got a little too exuberant:


The whole top laid on my bed:


I will separate these two pink sentiments:


Here are two pages of pictures I printed on "Printed Treasures" (by Milliken) which was one of the original fabric sheets for inkjet printers.  I have probably had them for 10 years.  Here they are printed on the fabric.



There are about 40 blank squares right now.  I am going to cut these apart and place them randomly around the quilt top.  I am also going to remove the scribbled ones and separate the pink ones.  It will involve quite a bit of ripping out and resewing, but that's what I do.
