    Default Ideas welcome

    My niece is getting married, and I made her a lovely quilt in blues and white last year. So now I'm casting about for ideas for a wedding gift. Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Maybe a table runner or centerpiece for their dining table. Also, I modified a table runner pattern and made a pillow topper with star blocks and a triple border with the outermost border a sawtooth, it might be nice to make one for their bed since the quilt you made prior was for your niece. Also, a small wall quilt might be nice for behind a chair or loveseat in their living room.

    I would find out what her colors are going to be and go from there. Maybe a quilt for their sofa.

    when my cousin got married last August i made her a set of 2 place mats, napkins,towels, washcloths for every holiday and one for neutral times and one picnic one. Everyone thought it was a lovely idea and wanted for themselves too.
    How about that nice folded table topper everyone is making now. That is really pretty. In holidays you can do it too.

    Do you have any lace scraps? I made my niece a ring-bearer's pillow using lace from her mother's wedding dress and my own, and from something her great-grandmother had worn, etc. I made it easy to remove the pillow and frame the top, with a chart of whose each piece was.

    i read somewhere that someone made a quilt to snuggle up on the sofa while watching movies. they also included a photo album with it. the idea was that every year on their anniversary or close to it they take a photo and as the years go by you have pets, kids etc in the photo as well. You could also write a bit in there if you chose. A really good idea i thought.
