Let's Talk Wedding: Guest "Book"

For the guest "book", I decided to do something a little different. I found this idea in a magazine and LOVED it b/c I like to sew and the first thing I ever made by myself was a blanket. The guests sign blocks of fabric and I would sew all the blocks of fabric together to make a huge blanket. Then, as I was hunting through a million wedding magazines, I found someone who actually did this! There was a whole story on this country wedding and they had done the "quilt" idea! I was so excited to see it put together (the picture is at the bottom of this post)!!!! Theirs was a little different...They had put their monogram in the middle, so that is what I did too! :)

Here is the table set up and our guests signing it! I was so excited about how it turned out! I used one of the glass containers with our monogram on it to hold the pens. We had two trays...one held the blank squares and the other held the squares that were signed. We had the center square monogrammed a few weeks before the wedding. It turned out beautifully! I wanted it in purple...the closest they could get it to our wedding colors...they did a great job! Here is the picture I found and what I hope ours will look like one day!
