Oh well, MIL's a sweet woman and the one who taught me to quilt - so she shouldn't mind too much! :)

that you cared enough to learn what she tried to teach you, that you exercised your freedom and personal choices in good color combination ...
you have probably even stepped out beyond what she knows you can do by your choice of this project.
That you considered giving/making her a gift is so very special!
And, if she doesn't christen it with a few happy tears, I will be pretty surprised!
It is a momma thing, and you have paid her the best compliment by utilizing something she taught you.
Good show! <wave>
