I know this sounds selfish and awful but this is why I don't give quilts. I give to family but i say that lightly....My mother has a crocheted afghan I did and I getting ready to send her her second quilt item that is her requested memory table runner. I made my late gran arm chair covers because the leather was making her stick. I'm making my aunt a memory quilt she requested. No other family members get quilts, I don't care how much they ask. My one sister just wants a quilt so she can say she owns one, she wouldn't love it she would get it valued! She would be disappointed because I'm not a professional nor do I strive to be but knowing that I know she would not care about it the minute she gets told it's not worth $1,000 or more. I thank you guys for your tales and it truly breaks my heart because quilting really is a labor of love and I'm not capable of not caring what happens to the quilts I give so I just don't do it!!
