Those who do not hand craft anything, whether it's quilting, painting, crafting, etc. have no idea of the time, effort, quality, or love that goes into something hand made.
It is their loss.
I would rather have anything hand made as opposed to something store-bought any day of the week.
And perhaps your quilt wasn't meant to go to that person since it would never be appreciated. I'm sure the right person won it and it was deeply appreciated and loved.
