It's beautiful. Enjoy your time with your Mom.
I get hit with that 'fear factor'. I just finished a wallhanging for my Mom, who turned 84 last week. When I had it finished I remarked to my DH how I put off doing the FMQ for 4 days because I was 'afraid' I would ruin the design. Of course, it wasn't nearly as difficult as I had created in my mind. Encourage, encourage, encourage your college friend that if she keeps trying, settles for less than perfect... that one day she will break through. God bless you.
