I personally love your quilt and I think you should not let your parents' insensitivity get to you. That is a marvelous quilt and you should be very proud of it. I showed my mom my album of quilts that I had done since I started quilting. She looked through the whole thing and never said anything about the quilts-all she said was I recognize her. a couple of the pictures had people in them. I mean come on. I had some pretty neat quilts in there and that's all she could say? But on the other hand-it might be the generation too. She gave me a quilt that she had made from her old pilly flannel nightgowns! She said the bottoms were still good so I cut them up! I would've used them for rags! It never ceases to amaze me what she does. She's still using towels that make my rags look good!
