A friend’s daughter, Alyssa, came up with a clever quilt idea. Using her mathematical and creative talent, she designed the quilt based on the idea of a Sudoku puzzle. It tells the history of her and her hubby’s life through their wedding day.
The basic quilt pattern is a 9 square. Each big block contains 9 small blocks with coordinating fabrics. I believe the puzzle is laid out in the fabric patterns but I’m not totally sure. Within each big block, there is a significant event, a coordinating picture, and the date of the event.
Here are the details of each event (left to right):
Block 1: Groom’s Parent’s Wedding
Block 2: Bride’s Parent’s Wedding
Block 3: Bride’s Birthday
Block 4: Groom’s Birthday
Block 5: First Date
Block 6: First I Love You
Block 7: First Kiss
Block 8: Proposal
Block 9: Wedding
How cool is that? My mom and granny both quilt and have made quilts for each of the kids. Wouldn’t this be a cool concept for a kid’s quilt? It would also be a fun way to track school achievements and then have a quilt at graduation. I think the possibilities are endless on this one.
Thank you, Kimberly and Alyssa for sending me this photo so I could share this fabulous idea with my readers!
Do you have a quilt with special meaning? Tell me about it!

Wow! This is a really neat quilt concept.
We have one quilt that my husband’s mom made that I really like. I don’t use it often, but I do get it out every once in a while to admire her handiwork.

Did Demerol injections kill Michael Jackson? A typical CNA is capable of taking care of the basic necessities for their patients. Joshua Tree Lyn commented that both of these teaching endeavors were not so dissimilar as they might seem at first glance. They have to respect you so bear in mind to respect them too.
