Never with a quilt. One GF was brutally honest when she told me that she didn't like the top I was working on for her and she tried to lay claim to another top. It took me a while to get over the audacity but in the end.....I made her a quilt that she loves.
I seem to not do too well in the acknowledgement of regular gifts. Pat's nephew never said boo about the wedding present. I wonder if he expected a quilt (which I considered making but I had a feeling we were invited because of gifts.)
