    You did a great job on your first quilt. That little girl will like it I'm sure and remember who made it for her. The other gifts will be forgotten in a short while, your gift will be remembered.

    What a beautiful quilt.. you did an amazing job, and the wee one is so precious... by the way she is gripping that I think it's safe to say it will be a favorite for many years.

    Like everyone has said, someone that doesn't quilt doesn't have a clue the time, effort, blood, sweat and tears that can go into making a quilt. Let alone the cost we can tie up in them :? However your cute little niece has her hand on it and a look on her face that says "keep your mitts off this is mine!" Just remember keep moms reaction/response in mind if she ever has the nerve to ask you to make her one.
    You did a beautiful job, be proud of it and yourself :thumbup:

    Deedles,
    The quilt is lovely. Hopefully, daddy will teach darling neice (and wife) the significance of this handmade gift.
    I understand the hurt. I did a pencil drawing of my granddaughter and made copies of it for the great grandmothers. I signed my work and MIL asked "who did it". My mother criticized the work...
    I've concluded that true artistry is not appreciated unless the person does the same skill or simular.
    Know you did your best and don't look back.

    Like others said the quilt will be there. My mom and dad made us quilts when we were young children.My sister still has hers and it is going on 25 years later. Quilts last a lifetime. Everything else will be gone, broken, or grown out of. :)
