After reading your post I was expecting to see something truly awful, but then I looked at the first picture and saw something very original, well made, and really marvelous. Maybe it's because I like scrappy quilts, but I don't see anything wrong with having a bulldozer in the mix. I like it! However I do think Emily needs to be educated in what to expect when she asks for a favor. If there's a next time, maybe insist that she do some of the actual work, so she can appreciate how much time and thought goes into it.
