I only quilt for members of my immediate family. I learned a long time ago that people who do not do handwork or sew don't value the hours that you have put into making an item or the cost of materials. I will not gift handwork to someone who does not. I find lovely pieces of handwork at just about any resale or charity shop all the time. I can't buy them all, but I certainly feel for the individual who spent their time and money creating a piece that is not valued by the recipent. Organizations that want a quilt to raffle off should at the least reimburse the creater of the quilt for the masterial instead of asking for a second quilt for the next raffle or auction.
