Kimberlie -
I hate that your hard work was not appreciated. If it's any comfort, my wife and I both love the quilt and think you did a great job on it. Maybe you should ask for the quilt back so you can donate it to QOV? At least that way someone would appreciate your hard work. Also I know who would NOT get another quilt from me. Try not to be discouraged or take it personally. I'm glad you posted so the rest of us can enjoy your work and offer a word of encouragement.
Keep Quilting
