that is why I have such a hard time giving my quilts away not unless I really know they want one as I have had the same thing happen to me because they were'nt the right color they ended up in the thrift shop or garage sale also sitting in a beauty shop I over heard a lady say how dumb some people were at an aution as someone paid 75.00 dollars for a quilt needless to say I have 22 on my spare bed but one will go for Christmas to a person I know that will love it
