A signature quilt in the works in the loft.
A plan in the making for the months ahead.
The cuts done, units ready to assemble. The first cuts consist of 60 pieces which become the centers for the signature/ marking area in each unit. The fabric for these cuts are Ivory Kona cotton, measuring 5.5" x 5.5" squares once cut. Next the adding 3" x 3 " squares were cut. Those totaling results become 120 pieces for the future units and are combined using 3 different fabrics.he cuts done, units ready to assemble.

More blocks formed & a time for arrangement playing yet to come.
Before the arrangement plays, the blocks will need to become a page for signature markings. This is done by affixing freezer paper to the backside.
Freezer paper helps accept the markings and steer away from raveling edges as it awaits written words, and for keeping the units fresh, till the quilt top can be formed.

Playing around with the sampling units
in finding ways to arrange them.
Thinking, I'm going to really enjoy the development of this quilt, and as it comes,
even though it will take months to gather all the signatures along with the upcoming wedding intended for, and on to porcesses in forming the Quilt top, with hopes this will be a welcoming gift
of memory for my own daughter- the bride to be & her new husband, once they are married in the fall, and the quilt is done by me later in the year.

If you wish to explore signature quilts, might I suggest checking Pinterest for ideas, and this tutorial link I came across while undergoing this process on
how to form the block units I am using. Siggy block-tutorial/Signature Quilt

In the mean time, I'll keep posting as this quilt develops in months to come.
Happy Quilting!
