Hi from MN, that quilt is beautiful-love the color combo I'm sure your mother will love it - if she is like any other mother she will love any quilt you have made for her, I made one for my mother on her 80th birthday - we have decided to use it when we lay her to rest by drapping it over her coffin-when that day happens--hopefully it won't be for a long long time - she is 82 now and still going strong on making quilts herself.
