If somebody loved me enough to make me a quilt, I would love the maker as well as the quilt no matter what. Just the thought of all the time and love that went into the quilt touches my heart and I know it will touch hers. No apology needed. :XD:

She will be thrilled with it. And I know she won't say a word about any mistakes, even if she notices them, which I can't from here

Ditto! She will be thrilled to have it and will know just how much you put into it! It's beautiful!

She will love it. It is beautiful. And since "she knows her stuff" she will know how much love you put into it.

It's a beautiful quilt and she will know it came from the heart. If she doesn't love it then I would hesitate to call her a dearest friend :D

I can truly understand your anxiety. However, one of my greatest treasures is an apron made by a young lady who is learning to sew. (I actually was fortunate enough to share her first experiences and offer advise about techniques as well as help her get her Great Aunt's machine sewing properly). She asked me why I would bid on an apron she had made when I could make one that would have been sewn so much more professionally (this were her words, not mine). I could honestly say, "it is BECAUSE YOU made it". She was in such a hurry to complete it for the auction, she actually forget an entire seam at the waistband. I was so glad I had won this, I just finished the seam and said nothing to her. It hangs with pride in my kitchen and reminds me of this lovely young lady who now loves to sew.

The long story is to say that if this quilt is given in love and received in love, no flaws (if any) will matter at all. She will be honored that you care enough to spend so much time on her gift.

That is beautiful. I don't know why she wouldn't like it.

I love your quilt, front and back. You did a great job and your friend will appreciate it and love that you thought enough of her to make her this beautiful quilt.
