I gave a Christmas quilt to my BIL (not my favorite guy) and made it with fabrics I knew he would appreciate. When he opened it on Christmas day at my home, he wrapped it around himself and left immediately. It took him 2 days to return and he tearfully told me how much he liked it. He is not a person to show emotions easily, but I certainly didn't expect him to walk out on Christmas day! It's still being using today. You can't always go by the immediate reaction. If you enjoyed making the quilts, then they have already done their job. Lena1952
