I recently completed this quilt, intended for one of my dearest friends. Trouble is, she knows her stuff and I'm terrified to give it to her since I'm no master. So the question is: is it wrong to lightly say something to the effect that it's a token of affection and that little things like technical ability should be kindly overlooked until I get around to making her next one?

beautiful quilt

Looks great to me. She'll love it.

Don't ! It's a beautiful quilt, if she doesn't appreciate it as it is she doesn't deserve it. You will probably be suprized at how much she loves it! :thumbup: :thumbup:

it's beautiful. If anything she will probably appreciate the time you took to make something for her.

she will graciously accept it and be thrilled and not pick apart your technical abilities at all...unless you ask her for advice-point out issues. present it proudly it is beautiful

:thumbup: :thumbup:

No, just give it proudly. It's a beauty and she should LOVE it, and you for making it for her! Don't knock your technical ability. It's great.

I think your quilt looks great! I especially love the way you pieced the back to match the front! There may be issues you see, don't point them out, I'm sure she will love and appreciate the gift!!

I would appreciate it more than you know - it is absolutely stunning, so if you would feel better sending it this way <grin>

If she knows her "stuff" she will really appreciate it. She knows that quilting is a learning process and knows how much effort you put into it. It is beautiful and I am sure she will love it.
