Present the top only for signature and promise the couple it will be quilted later. As for the cammo sections I am thinking Cat 'o nine tails and grassy fronds.
I couldn't agree more about quilting later. Better for signing and better for the quilter. A more relaxed quilting without a dead line has got to be easier and way less stressful.
