Make them one later when you're not trying to plan a wedding. What are people thinking, wedding planner or quilter not both at the same time. Good luck!

take a really deep breath. ok enjoy wedding first 6 wks isn't much time and that's the moment you don't want to miss out on. the quilt will be better if your not going crazy doing to much and end up sick for the wedding. then you can decide on a quilt and when it's done you decide when o ive it. enjoy one of the most wonderful days in your life and theirs. hope you enjoy the beautiful occasion like you should. sue

That's a great idea!

You could always make it for them for an upcoming anniversary. That way you have plenty of time to plan and make it.

i was going along the same path.. only i would leave muslin or white squares for everyone to write their good wishes for the happy couple on, then make a quilt incorporating those with their wedding colors for their first anniversary gift.... gives you a whole year!

the nice thing about putting a wedding together that quickly, is there isn't a lot of time for obsessing, and turning into bridezilla!

I like this idea... a friend did it for a reunion and had everyone do whatever on the 12" block she sent them with a fabric pen ( some people were creative and did crossstitch, drew something or just signed ,inculding everyone from that family that was attending) and had a specific time for it to get back to her so she could do the quilt (used their colors) and it came out beautiful...

Last week I finally got the fabric for my youngest daughter's wedding quilt. She's been married almost 3 years now. Of course, I have finished the quilts for her two babies!

Oh goodness! Don't let other people who can't know how hard it would be to do that add pressure to an already packed situation! And congratulations to your family on this happy event!

I have a friend who makes a quilt for 7th anniversaries - says "if you stay married, you'll get that quilt".
Not wishing problems for the couple, but she says it has saved her headaches / heartaches to wait that long - also gives more time for couple to decide which colors they still really like for the quilt.
