I guess I'm very lucky because I've never had a negative reponse. Of course, I usually only give quilts to my family or close friends and they know the amount of work I put into them. The exception is baby quilts. Although I have had a couple of funny experiences with them. One woman I gave a baby quilt to loved it so much she wouldn't let the child use it. She bought a rack and displayed it in his bedroom - 15 years later it looks brand new is and still displayed. Another woman brought the quilt back to me six years later and asked if I could patch it up. Her child drags it with him everywhere he goes and it was torn and tattered. I think I like the fact that it was the kid's "blankey" rather than the display model better.
