I could cry right now.

I think it's beautiful and she should be so happy with it because you made it for her with your heart and hands. That is what counts. I bet if you made her a toothpick log cabin that was 5"x5" she would love that. It's what you put of yourself into it that counts.That's just my opinion.It's something to cherish.

I would put it through a rinse cycle, take it out and lay it out flat, stretching it to square it up, then let it dry. Of course, all quilts shrink a bit when washed which gives them that antique or country look. It really doesn't look that bad to me, although I'm sure it looks that way to you in person. Good luck...I wouldn't envy you having to skin the quilt and re-quilt.

I would wash the quilt in cold wash then lay it flat to dry. I always put mine on my bed to dry & put a fan on it. Be sure to 'block' it or brush it so it lays as flat as possible after you lay it out. I hope it works but if you don't want to give it to her, I will take it! I can't see where there's anything wrong with it!
