Because we know every stitch that goes into our quilts, we are sometimes too critical of ourselves. Finish the quilt and give it to her. If she loves it now, she will love it even more when you've finished. I have two quilts. One each from my two grandmothers. Yes there are mistakes and some of the colors are just plain ugly but, they are special to me because of who made them. I sometimes run my hands over those quilts when they are on the bed and think about the time my grannies spent on making them. Every stitch, a stitch of love.
