Would that wake them up or just be too in their face?

In my family, my mom who never stands for disrespect would be quick to tell the recipient that they are darn lucky to get such a precious and expensive-to-make gift and too bad they do not know how to make one themselves or they would know it's a wonderful gift. And that would straighten them out without me being involved cause I couldn't stop her if
I tried (which I wouldn't).

I have to forgive people who hurt me because that is what God expects of me. And I think your quilt is one of the cutest I've ever seen. How did you quilt it? Was it stitch in the ditch or flip and sew?
