Just wondering how everyone else feels about this.
To be honest how I feel about it is this: you say you make these gifts 'for use as a bedspread' but the only way to control what happens your quilts is to keep them under lock and key. From your post I am hearing some anger toward those you gifted quilts to. I think this is very sad. Did they say they wanted a bedspread? (Do your grandchildren even know what a bedspread is?) I would be really annoyed if my mother made me something and then found fault with how I chose to use it (within reason, obviously) I think you should be pleased they like your gifts enough to use them, and to use them so intimately. I guess they must love you dearly to want to have your work near them like that. Pretty nice feeling, no?
