what would you do if your daughter came home and said you ex is getting married and ?

I'm guessing the ex is her father? It would be hard, but as someone said, you'd be doing it more for her than for him. If you helped her, you are the hero, if not, she'll remember that you turned her away. Is him not getting a quilt really worth that?

I would help guide her in sewing the quilt. Later when you have the house to yourself, make bread the old fashioned way and pound the $%@#!! out of the dough or go outside and chop the blazes out of the weeds and then move on.

I would help her make the quilt it makes you the better person and I bet the new wife will love sleeping under a quilt she will know you had a hand in making Lol ! its 2 for the price of one keeping your daughter happy and the new wife a little uncomfortable'

Help her gladly. Let her know you love her and that you are happy that she has a relationship with her father. Be proud that you raised her to love her father.
Have her pick the pattern and the colors and have her do most of the work with you guiding her.

So well said. It will be fun to sew with your daughter as well.

I agree I would watch over give advice but it would be of her own making..

Have been there and done that, He loves his daughters and his new wife and I are very good friends. The fact that we were 18 when married is worlds away from where we are now. The dad is a wonderful person and so i his wife. I would jump right in and help dd make the quilt.
