My husband (her son) stepped in and told her she needed to call her insurance company and have it insured for $7000. Her mouth dropped open and she asked why? He replied in great detail, telling her how much time I had spent making it, and he turned the top over and showed her each and every seam, and told her that I had put every single stitch in it. This quilt was a monster at 120" x 120", with over 9000 pieces. She finally understood and was so overwhelmed that she started crying.

Making my MIL cry - priceless! tee hee hee
