Very diplomatic way to handle it. I know it's difficult for some of us to be outspoken but hope you can do it. Say to yourself what I say to myself, "Hey May, Pull up your big girl panties and go for it. "
Maybe after your roommate received the thank you note from her parents she told them that the quilt was really a gift from you. May in Jersey
