How wonderful that you enjoyed quilting today, even with you MIL! That says a lot about your family. Hubby will be proud that the two most important women in his life shared some valuable time with each other.
Isn't it a good feeling to see something "grow' and become a thing.! My favorite part about quilting is putting all the blocks together. My least favorite is trying to quilt the three layers and it bunching up in the back and having to pull stitches out. LOL done that a few times.
Keep on going. You are doing a great job. Post a picture so we can see your progress. I am curious.
