I recently visited a quilt shop that had on display a quilt made of well coordinated 10 inch squares of rather simple patterns and light to med. colors. It had a 6 inch border all around. The thing that made it special was the quilting pattern was a simple one called Dancing Daisies and the thread used was a darker color and the pattern really stood out. I made a full size in 2 days. On another visit to the same shop the owner told me that she has sold over 30 pre-cut kits of this quilt and it gets more attention than any other one in the shop.

An Irish chain is a traditional favorite. Perhaps reverse it with light "chains" on a darker background?- and you can get it done in time!

I really love this D9P I made for my niece. With softer fabric choices it would made a very nice wedding quilt I think.

How about HST in this design? It is very quick and easy and would look wonderful in any fabric combination.

each block is 8.5 HST and the sashing is 3.5.

hi...this is one I made from a Moda layer cake and some extra co-ordinating fabric (OASIS)....it was really quick, the picture shows it not finished...I still had to bind but both my daughters ( aged 25 and 21) love it and want me to make them one.
I just cut the 10" suares into 2 1/2" strips and sewed them up again into blocks and bordered....couldn't be simpler or quicker but turned out very pretty...especially when completed....cushions are completed now too !!

Here's an idea that could also buy you a little time. If they're having a reception after the ceremony, how about you make a quilt up out of a simple signature blocks (quilterscache.com would be a huge help) and then have all the guests sign them or write some well wishes for the happy couple. Then you can take it home with you afterwards, heat set the writing, and then quilt it? It would be a lasting memory of their special day.

Self-serving motive to give you some time...I think it would be great of you to respond to post http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-142025-1.htm I am dying to know the story behind your QB ID!! LOL!!
