Love it! One of the fabrics in picture 2, next to the navy blue, looks very similar to one in a quilt top that my Grandmother made in the late 1930's or early to mid 1940's. I inherited the top from my mother, who inherited it from her mother. My Mom then tucked it into a drawer for 30 years! When my Mom gave it to me, I rented some time on a longarm machine and quilted it before I had any idea what I was doing. It looks it , but I am very satisfied with it anyway, because it looks better with my quilting than it looked in the drawer. We use it when my 'grands' are here. My niece and I pick our favorite fabrics as part of her 'tuck in' ritual.

So glad you quilted this for your MIL. You created a memory! Write the story of the quilt down and ask your MIL to keep it near the quilt so the story isn't lost.
