Ideas welcome
My niece is getting married, and I made her a lovely quilt in blues and white last year. So now I'm casting about for ideas for a wedding gift. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Matching pillow shams

Maybe a table runner or centerpiece for their dining table. Also, I modified a table runner pattern and made a pillow topper with star blocks and a triple border with the outermost border a sawtooth, it might be nice to make one for their bed since the quilt you made prior was for your niece. Also, a small wall quilt might be nice for behind a chair or loveseat in their living room.

Perhaps a lovely lap quilt?

Placemats and napkins to match a table runner.

I would find out what her colors are going to be and go from there. Maybe a quilt for their sofa.

when my cousin got married last August i made her a set of 2 place mats, napkins,towels, washcloths for every holiday and one for neutral times and one picnic one. Everyone thought it was a lovely idea and wanted for themselves too.
How about that nice folded table topper everyone is making now. That is really pretty. In holidays you can do it too. |
Do you have any lace scraps? I made my niece a ring-bearer's pillow using lace from her mother's wedding dress and my own, and from something her great-grandmother had worn, etc. I made it easy to remove the pillow and frame the top, with a chart of whose each piece was.

i read somewhere that someone made a quilt to snuggle up on the sofa while watching movies. they also included a photo album with it. the idea was that every year on their anniversary or close to it they take a photo and as the years go by you have pets, kids etc in the photo as well. You could also write a bit in there if you chose. A really good idea i thought.

Snuggle quilt for the settee where they can cuddle.
