She wasn't upset about the front bleeds or anything. I even told her I'd rip out the quilting and replace the area on the back where it bled, but she wouldn't have it, so I told her I'd charge her less money for the quilting, and she was grateful for that. But I can't wait to hear what her teenaged DD has to say about it!
When I first looked at this quilt that you are so upset with I said" It's so pretty. It looks old & cherished. I wouldn't do anything to it.' I would have been glad to have it also. Just hopes the teenage daughter can appreciate the colors and the cherished look of it too.
