No need to make any comments about your ability. ( I do the same thing and wish I can keep my big mouth shut and not show my insecurities.) But I really understand how you feel.
What strikes me about your quilt is the lovely balance of color. Some quilts scream at me, and I don't want to look at them a long time. But your color placement is very pleasing, and I can keep on looking at it and appreciating what its saying over and over.
Your friend will love you for your gift, which is beautiful.
