I made 2 wedding quilts last year...the one, the card came off and they had to try to figure out who made it...it was 1 of 3 people...but the thank you came by phone the night they figured it out, and in writing a month or so later. The other quilt, to the 1st grooms brother and wife...I got a thank you note a couple of months after the wedding..."Thanking me for my generous gift.." They never even acknowledged that the gift was a quilt.
This couple is now pregnant...if he wasn't the son of my bff...I would get him a target gift card and blow it off...but that would hurt her feelings...and I won't do that.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! To bad that your niece doesn't have the manners to properly thank you, but, at least now you know not to get her any more gifts, and even if she didn't thank you, her husband should have.
Where did you get the pattern or is it one of your own designs?
