Make a pretty table runner.

I would buy a beautiful card, and include a hand written note, that says you are making them a quilt, and ask them for color choice?
|
Ok, so, here's the embarrassing thing...I thought the wedding was this coming weekend but it turns out, I had my weeks confused. I thought for sure we were in the last week of July but we're not. Soooo, the wedding is 13 days away. :oops:

why rush a gift for such an important friend on such an important occasion. |
Don't kill yourself doing this. You know that is when mistakes happen. Enjoy the wedding and then get to work. You'll have a beautiful quilt ready when the cold weather sets in. Just my opinion ~

I agree with Fabric Fancy. Take the time to do something special and give it to them at a later time. All you have to tell them is it's a special gift for a special couple.

I know that this response is coming after the fact, but in the past I have given a beautiful card with a message indicating that their special gift is in progress and will be presented in..... (You fill in the blank with the amount of time your feel is appropriate).
I just gave a quilt last week-end that was slightly more that one year after the wedding. The quilt was finished earlier but The grooms mother suggested that I wait for the couple to travel home from out of state to present them with the gift at a family reunion. It worked. |
Make Pillow shams in your chosen fabric and say the quilt will follow

Just Can't Cut It is a quick and easy quilt.

I give tree skirts for wedding gifts to close family members and close friends. They don't get them at the wedding but they do get it before their first christmas. sometimes I put some of their wedding pictures on the tree skirts and their dates and maybe a few words of they song. So tell them what you are going to give them and give it to them at a later date. Most of the time they open their gifts the next day or after honeymoon and they have so many things that a new gift later will be really appreciated also
