Most ideas for wedding quilt squares use hearts, rings or doves as the main decoration. However, there’s no rule that limits you to just those three themes. Wedding quilt squares can be simple or as elaborate as your skills permit. And they can range from ideas as easy as using a different type of heart-patterned fabric for each square to something as challenging as using assorted fabrics on each square to create a double-ring pattern.
