Your quilt is absolutely beautiful and unique!!! I love it! In fact, I had not logged on and was just looking at posts, but I had to tell you how much I love it. Maybe when you step away from it and come back you will realize how great it is. I'm sure it felt so important to you because you made it for your friend and I know how perfect we want our work to be when it is for someone we care about. Take my word for it: it is fabulous.
