for "the mother of my son..."; "special person..."; "looks great up close..."; "isn't photogenic..."; If these are hints to a puzzle, I'd bet our quilter made this beautiful quilt for herself and doesn't care what the neighbors think, because up close and in her home, it's just what she wants. How am I doing????LOL -

Quilters...quilters..quilters...we always torture ourselves because we look at our work so closely....closer that we should. Trust me your quilt is just beautiful and she would love it and so will the whole family.

I anticipate she'll lug it all over to show to virtually everyone. I just think, from a distance, well, it looses a lot of something.

I might even name it "Pleasant Companion." It's wonderful.

I think it will be a "pleasant companion" for a long time.
