I think you will find that no apologies or explanations are necessary.

The quilt is gorgeous and big. I'm sure she will appreciate all the hard work and love that went into it.

Thanks so much for the feedback, all; I gifted it Sunday and she was indeed thrilled with it. I know we tend to be our own worst critics, but it's the first time I've given one of my quilts to someone with significant quilting knowledge so it was pretty scary!

If and when someone gave me a quilt like this, I would cherish it. Its the thought that you took all that time and effort into making it. If it didnt have flaws it wouldnt be a handmade quilt.
Its beautiful... Stop being so hard on yourself.
