Maybe it is because mine was so simple(wedding) but it is about being married til death do you part, I think getting a quilt later is an outstanding idea. Try to enjoy some of the planning!

Do like I did - tell them there is a wedding quilt - they'll get it when it's finished. For my son & his wife, it's been 2-1/2 years, and I'm still working on it... I told them they'll have it before Christmas.... (I hope!)

There will be a lot of opportunities to make them a quilt later. There will be Christmas's and anniversaries for years to come but there will only be one wedding. Enjoy the wedding.

After they move into their living quarters you can get an idea of their decorating style, etc. and make one then.

Hang in there...I have TWO grandchildren getting married three weeks apart...MY daughter must be insane!!! But on with the quilt! It gets there when it gets there. Your primary job is to be present and happy at the great events...your presence is more important than the gift...
Gifts cam come any time the ceremony, vows and love make the wedding. Hugs, Lusews

Congrats and enjoy the wedding. People also think you can make a quilt and don't realize the actual costs. They aren't cheap to make.

Plus it's probably a less rude question than "WHAT!! 6 WEEKS ??" Good luck and best wishes to the happy couple!

Many of us don't get a quilt done for the "actual" date. Make it when you can enjoy the process and not feel rushed.

You could always mess up like I did...my youngest DD's wedding quilt top was made about 16 years ago...I finally got it quilted about four-five months ago! What I'm trying to say (I guess...) is that sometimes life gets in the way of the best intentions, so do the best you can with all the other things going on and when it is done, they'll love it regardless of the time frame!
