I'm nearly 2 months late with a wedding gift so I want to make something fast and easy. I'm thinking of a basic rag quilt. I have tons of plaid flannel in a variety of colors. What would be a good color that most people would like? Is a rag quilt a tacky wedding gift? Any other ideas?

I dunno...I'm a firm believer that "size doesn't matter" so what about if you found out what style their bedroom is currently in, and make some glorious pillow shams? You could take your time and pour your energy into a smaller project that would pack a big punch, kwim?
Of course, how well you know the bride-and-groom to be and your relationship to them DOES kinda play an important role. You want the gift to be from your heart to theirs, whatever you decide.

I think a flannel rag quilt in neutral colors would be a very nice gift.

I think a rag quilt with regular cottons vs flannel would be fine. Would you want to include a lot of white since it's a late wedding gift? Or even a log cabin/rag quilt? You could combine the simplicity of log cabin, and the speed of ragging the blocks? Since the log cabin was thought to signify hard and easy times with the light and dark of each individual block...
Good luck no matter what you do. Remember you have up to one year to give a gift for a wedding.
