what would you do if your daughter came home and said you ex is getting married and ?

My decision would depend on a lot of things.
Age of my daughter, type of relationship I have with my ex, # of years divorced, type of help my daugter is asking for (hands on versus guidance).
In my case, I would not be helping my daughter (if I had one) in any way as my ex married my best friend.

Have to agree with this and a quilt is a huge expense both monetarily and in time. I'd help her to come up with another idea. Small wall hanging or table topper? It will break your daughter's heart when she finds out the new wife won't use something made by the ex.

Before you respond to your daughter's request, you might want to have a gently worded conversation with her, to ask her how her father's soon-to-be second wife might feel about sleeping in a bed covered by a quilt her husband's first wife helped to make. When your daughter thinks of it from her future stepmom's point of view, I think she will also think of the situation from your point of view, but without you having to direct her attention to you. I am a second wife, and I hold no resentment toward my predecessor. However, I certainly wouldn't want a tangible reminder of her on my marriage bed.
Best of luck, whatever you decide. This is an emotional topic, I can tell, and I'm sorry that you're in pain.
