Welcome Suza and congratulations on your pending marriage! How exciting that it is so close now. Hopefully the weather will be cooler when the date arrives.
I looked up the Nova Scotian tartan - that is a beautiful one. I would love to see that in a DWR quilt. Maybe one day your will make one of your own.
I am up for a Christmas quilt if that is what you decide to do. It would be my first one.
We will have to see what comes.
