i kind of went through the same thing back when my daughter got married- they had set a date for in a year---thought i had lots of time to help-and make a quilt
then a few weeks later i received a call from my daughter----future son in law was being deployed to the middle east- the date was moved up- 2 months from now---all of a sudden-
things were a whirl-wind!
she even wanted me to make 64 little fabric bowls for tables at the reception!
somehow (while working full time too) we all managed to pull this off!
there was lots of drama-trauma=
i managed to get the bowls all made-
i managed to get the quilt top together and to a long-arm quilter=who was kind enough to move it up and get it done---and i finished the last stitches of the binding with almost an hour to spare!---the quilt was actually hung behind the bridal table on the wall at the reception-
do what you can---remember to breath---and if you don't feel you can make a quilt- wait until after and make one for a first anniversary gift.
it will all come together- as it's supposed to.
