I think Jenel has given you some very wise advice.

My daughter knows that if I was making a quilt for my ex it's probably to wrap his dead body in it!

That aside it depends on the relationship you have with your ex - do you both still talk for the sake of your daughter. I'd suggest a simple pattern for her to learn/do and maybe pay for some private lessons at the LQS you could go to give her suggestions and guidance on how to complete it.

Why would an ex even want his ex as part of his wedding gift in any shape form or fashion. I think your DD is not thinking this all the way through. The best answer would be for her to take a quilt class on her own and leave you out of this memory.

I don't have an ex and don't know for sure what I would do.

I would help her in any way I could. I don't have an "X", but my husband does. When my stepson was younger and still lived with his mother, I would take him shopping for her b-day, mom's day, x-mas, etc. and pay for the gifts. I figured she and my husband made a great kid together and just because it did not work out for them, he did not have to feel bad about not being able to get his mom gifts. I think it also helped with my relationship with her. She also started to take him for mom's day and x-mas for me. Which did shocked me, since he had his dad to do that. You will feel better when it is all done and over. The time my stepson and I got to spend together then (and now) was and is priceless.

I would help her make the quilt. You're doing it so your daughter can give her father a gift! After all, he' s obviously still an important part of her life and that's worth celebrating!

I had a bitter 2 1/2 year fight to get my divorce and didn't speak civilly to my ex for 8 years......but I kept the children out of it as much as possible. I would help my DD make the quilt and make it a good one. After all it is her dad....and it would really irk the new wife when she found out!!!

I think you should help after all he is your ex not your daughters
