You are right ~ people really do not know what goes into making a quilt. When my DS and DIL were married we had 10 days notice!! We made it to California from Montana and her parents made it from Guatemala. That was ten years ago and they still don't have a quilt. However, my mother made them one! Do what you can and enjoyl

Weddings are stressful enough let alone planning and preparing for it, in 6 weeks no less. We did Everything for daughter wedding except photography and catering and had 7 months and it was tough all the way to the final minutes. Breathe and try to enjoy the wedding...a quilt can wait

Now slowly...take a deep breath and know we will be keeping you in our prayers.
I bet my mom could relate to you...my brother's wedding and my wedding were 5 weeks apart the same year. Funny thing too...we had our first kids on the same day four years later. haha My mom and dad got their first grandson and granddaughter on my 4th wedding anniversary. Just think of all the quilts she would have had to make if she was a quilter. haha Now, don't you feel better. A merry heart does good like a medicine.

Do people not realize how much time it takes to put together a quilt and a wedding. I just made her a quilt for her birthday in July! I wish I could make one, but gee. Ok, I just had to get it out there, I know people mean well.
Go to the spa, pamper yourself so the mother of the Groom will look great on his special day!

I asked my first to marry what kind of quilt she wanted and she said"don't bother, I'm not crazy about them" Okay. I asked the second and got lots of "wow thanks" We went fabric shopping together. I got 1/2 way through and they changed their mind about the colors...UGH! Hate them both LOL I'm not in any hurry to restart for daughter two and couldn't care less about a quilt at any time for the first. I think I'll stick to charity and friends.

you could do a simple one like lovers knot by eleanor burns. It goes together really fast. You could probably make one in a week if you worked on it every day. Its not impossible, I made a log cabin in a week for my husbands birthday when we were dating, just worked on it a little bit each day. It just depends on the pattern selected
