I definitely would not make a quilt for a couple that I did not know well -too expensive, too time consuming and too much chance of it not being appreciated. Our gift choice for weddings like this is $ or a gift card to Canadian Tire (they have everything!). The $ gift means less stress for you, more time to quilt your things and no hurt feelings. I've never heard a couple yet complain about cash. For one couple I knew a little better, I bought oven mitts, made a barbecue apron and tucked the cash in the pocket!
