Unless that are sewers, they are going to think you gave them a blanket. Now to me a blanket is a nice wedding gift but for others, not so much. I think cash in an envelope is always a gift that is appreciated. I always right the amount on the card unless it is a check, so the couple know what was in the card. Depending on how their envelope box is secured, sometimes thefts occur.

for younger newlyweds just getting established I get a toolbox and put nail packet, hammer 2 big and 2 small of both kinds of screwdrivers, , measuring tape, short level, scissors...that is what I get thanked for later.

The wedding gift I still have and remember the giver is a SOLID wood cutting board. Have no fabric items from wedding gifts. I did receive things not on my registry. Most of those didn't fit my choices & exchanged all I could.
Being a quilter and 2D visual artist, I like to give something I made. I do some investigating as to their style and color preferences. And give something that isn't intended to be a focal point (bed spread, large wall hanging). I like the picnic idea. Also a table covering might be nice. The casserole carrier sounds good. Add some hot pads or insulated table runner.

I like the idea of a fun quilt for lying under the stars on a peaceful night looking for shooting stars or can be taken on a picnic and not have to worry about it not being tough enough. I would never make a paper pieced quilt for anyone until I know that the people will value the quilt and use it tenderly.
For a first quilt for a couple, I like this label. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...m-t242040.html
