I recently made a queen sized quilt for my DGD with the shower as the date to aim for. It was a Judy Martin log cabin with hundreds of pieces. I started it in January and the shower was on April 24th. The top was done, but not sandwiched or quilted. I gave her the top and told her I needed to take it back and finish it. The wedding was June 11, and the quilt was finished about 2 weeks before and given to the bride and groom. I was glad to see it finished, and I don't think I want to make another. It turned out beautiful, but was more costly than I figured and most of the fabric was from my stash--blues and golds--with a neutral background. Anyone who knows Judy Martins patterns knows how difficult they can be--but beautiful beyond words. I have 4 more DGDs still to get married--maybe I should start now. lol
