I guess I just have to say that people who don't quilt or live with a quilter have no idea how much time and effort go into making one. Not just the time for [I]this[I]quilt, but all the time it took you to learn to match those points, and make that perfect 1/4 inch seam, and get that backing and batting smooth. Years of practice, just to create this quilt. Darn right you better thank me, or give it back! Actually, it's possible it just wasn't her style.
