It is beautiful, I love the borders and I think machine quilting is fine, especially since you don't know where it is going. If it were your own, it would be worth taking all the time to hand quilt it.

A stunning quilt! Rejoice that it is finished and don't fret about how it was quilted. It's your work, be proud.

I think you did the right thing. The machine quilting will help secure the top so that the hand stitching doesn't loosen. As you said, you don't know what kind of use or abuse it will get in the future and machine quilting will help it last. The most important thing is, a beautiful top has been rescued and can now be part of their lives. Well done!

It's beautiful. I don't see anything wrong with it being machine quilted!

Another fabulous quilt. I just love it. The border looks difficult, but all of those curves terrify me to even try. Great job.
