I have always made my quilts for loved ones, but just last weekend I had my quilting teacher make a baby quilt for a fellow that works for us as he had just had a baby. I was so proud of the quilt and know the time and effort it took to make it, but when I gave it to his wife she just said "Thanks" and that was it. I was so hurt that she just didn't appreciate our gift, since she knew I am a beginning quilter and love it so much. I'm still very upset with her even now, so yes you should only give a gift of so much love to those who can appreciate the time and love that goes into each quilt we make.
