Do people not realize how much time it takes to put together a quilt and a wedding. I just made her a quilt for her birthday in July! I wish I could make one, but gee. Ok, I just had to get it out there, I know people mean well.
you know, just because we quilt doesn't mean that that is our job for every thing that comes around. You are the mother of the groom for Pete's sake. :shock: How many other mothers of the groom made a quilt while trying to plan a wedding in 6 weeks?
that expectation was not yours, so don't take it on if you don't want to. it is not required of you. you can be the mother of the groom like others were. :-D
