It's beautiful! It sounds to me as if you have a very wise mother helping you out with some nice things to think about instead of revision all the time :)
This quilt really looks awsome! Well done Abi! Cant wait for more! xxx
Great job on such a pretty happy little quilt Abi! I can understand your Mom's concern about the bed size quilt though - really they are MUCH harder than lap quilts - but I know if you are determined, you can do it!
And one gorgeous layout to come, telling the story of the gorgeous quilt? :-)
