Okay ladies (and gents) - here is a real, live quilt Policewoman. She is my mother. We truly have a good relationship, but I know how she is ...
Block flipper. If she's looking at an unfinished piece she flips it to check out the seams. So ... I don't let her see anything unfinished.
She loves the quilt shown in the picture here, but will not call it a quilt because it won't fit on a bed. It's a throw.
Everything I've ever shown her ... ever ... she has told me how it could have been done better. HER mother however - my grandmother ... was the definition of unconditional love ... so between them guess I had the best of both!
