I think your quilt is absolutely beautiful. My 7 year old likes that its rainbow colored and all the different fabrics. My 10 year old daughter thought it was cool that the fabric had different designs and bright colors. I wont pretend that your niece and great niece will ever appreciate the time, money, or thought that went into making the quilt. Please know that many quilters on the Quiltingboard appreciate your efforts. We would all be proud to own this quilt.
