I agree. Maybe she will notice the little mishaps or technical errors, but a good and dear friend will not care, would certainly not say anything, and she would love every stitch simply because as a quilter, she KNOWS what goes into it, and YOU put that into one just for HER.

Its a beauty. I believe that all quilts are perfect because it is made with the quiet intent from the heart.

Beautiful quilt! Present it to her proudly, and don't mention the "faults". She will appreciate it, as it is a handmade gift from you! :)

I agree--anyway most of those "technical difficulties" will disappear and you won't even be able to locate them. It is amazing how much better quilts look even one day later!
