I am a beginner quilter but I am very familiar with handmade quilts because my grandmother made hundreds of them. A lady who was my DGD's babysitter from the time DGD was a baby until she went to preschool made my DGD a beautiful quilt made in pink fabrics. She quilted it from outside in and had a couple of big "bubbles" in it where the pieced side was larger than the backing. When she gave it, she said "Oh, that's why they say to quilt from the inside out!" My DGD loves that quilt because of who made it and the pretty colors. Who is ever going to know it has bubbles in it when it is wadded up on DGD's bed. I really admire and love the lady because she took the time and effort to make the quilt. Who cares if there are those bubbles. It was made with love for my DGD and we are all blessed that she made the quilt. We love her more because we can all laugh and watch my DGD enjoy the warmth, pretty colors and love when covered with that quilt.
