I never give quilts as gifts anymore because of that. I only make and give to those who I personally know will appreciate them. Myxxx of a son in law put it over the dog cage and my sister in law gave it away. However my brother in law's wife asked me to teach her to quilt (she is chinese) and now she has a business on e-bay and is supporting him. Cant figure out who the fool was here but she is happy . she is the only sister in law that I talk quilting with the others well lets not get into that. I feel your pain about the quilts.
