A Guest 'Book'

Rather than a guest book, we will (fingers crossed) have a guest quilt.

Thankfully I have borrowed a Grand Calibur from a friend which has saved me some cutting time. Alfie sleeps while I cut squares:


Two sizes are cut in separate colours:


The smaller squares are halved and then pinned to either side of the larger square:


These are stitched and the seams pressed. The edges are trimmed so that it is completely square:


Freezer paper is ironed to the back of the square which makes it easier to write on the front (I tested this theory on a corner):


Masking tape around the edges will stop guests writing/drawing on the seam allowance. One down, another 80 to go... Pictures of the finished product will appear after the wedding!
