Lisa, I think you did a wonderful job and I am sure they treasure it. Never would have guessed at the cheater quilt blocks. You did a great job encorporating several different mediums and it all came together just great. I agree with what others said, it is a record of your progress and does not lesson the gift at all. We each do our best at the time no matter our degree of ability and our hearts and love are stiched in each and every time. That is the gift we give others when they receive our quilts.
