You know, it is "ok" to get their gift to them later or even when they get back from their honeymoon. Don't stress over the quilt. There are too many other things to worry about and I'm sure that they will understand. I have married off 3 daughters in the last 4 years and there was no way that I could work on a quilt during the last weeks before the wedding. The week before we had guests starting to arrive.

I bet if you asked, they wouldn't mind if the quilt came later. Besides it's summer now and they don't need it to keep warm! The only reason daughter #2 got hers on time was cuz my machine was gone for servicing for a month.LOL
Don't rush it or you're liable to make a stupid mistake and that wouldn't be good for you. Enjoy the upcoming week and finish it later.
Christmas could be good!

Maybe it is ok to shoot for Christmas? My DD is getting married Saturday. We are doing everything for the wedding, ceremony back yard, cooking food for 100 and party at our place. the quilt will be a Christmas pressent. She got engaged July 4 th there is just no way I can do it all.

I know exactly how you feel. I made one of my daughters wedding dress and it took forever. I worked on it for at least 6 months. I also had a bridesmaid dress to do and two flower girls dresses. I have sewn forever, but never anything like these. The wedding dress was all hand beaded and pretty much done in time, but my daughter lost weight so it had to be taken in at the last minute. That was tricky. Luckily my mom came down a few days early and just sat down and asked what she could do to help. Thank goodness.
I think gifts like that are the best ever.
