I guarantee you that no one would be given a quilt who said anything negative to me. My first year to quilt, I worked very hard to make quilts for everyone in my family. I had asked my mother over and over if she wasn't sure she wanted one. Her answer was, "Oh, no, I don't think so. I already have a quilt." So, I didn't start one for her. I'm pretty sure she thought they would be substandard. Anyhow, she was here at Thanksgiving and I was showing her the ones I had made for my son, grandson, mother in law and daughter. Guess what? All of a sudden, she wanted one too. She got a quilt top for Christmas, but she had to pay to have it quilted! She should have spoken up sooner. And an even bigger guess what??? She wants me to make her another one now. When we were in Shipshewana for a wedding, she picked out the fabric and paid for it! LOL She now understands really well just what is involved in a quilt; both the time and the money!!! I love it!!
