I think you said it just right, but personally, if she wants something that looks better than that, she might be a good friend, but she is also a perfectionist and could learn to relax from you :lol: great job and thanks for the wave quilting or whatever that marvelous technique is called. I like it :wink:

Joking aside. You could let her see what you have been working on and observe her reaction. Then make a decision. I quilt, but I also have a friend who quilts and I'd love to have almost any of her quilts. However, some are not really my color choices (your's is!) and although I would be thrilled that she thought to give me one and I would accept it graciously (I hope) it might not have been one I would have chosen if given the opportunity. Then again she probably wouldn't offer me one that wasn't my color preference. In fact, I am the lucky recipient of all the Bali Pops, etc. that she doesn't use and they ARE my colors!! Go figure. Anyway, she should love it. I do.

I'm sure she will love it! I do just looking at it =) If she quilts too she will appreciate it for the work you put in it and the fact that you made it for her. I would be beside myself if someone made something like that for me. =)

I would be "honored" to receive such a nice gift - I bet your friend will love it - if she really knows her stuff - she will know how much time and effort you put forth. It's a wonderful quilt.
