When I show my quilts before giving it to the recipent as all my quilts are gifts to someone. I might say how I came to doing this particular pattern and why these fabrics as I try to match the quilt to the personality of the person receiving it. Such as my Bricks & Stones is for an elderly gent who still farms so searched for veggies and fruit fabrics, sashed it with browns and blacks, no florals as its for a gent and the quilting patterns couldn't have any flowers in it either. So I make mind to fit the person I'm giving it to. If I make mistakes I might point it out but most everyone I know around here aren't quilters so it wouldn't matter if I made huge mistakes or not as they wouldn't know the difference. I was wait patiently for the reaction from the person when I give it to him/her. That makes it worth all the stress I went into making it.
