hopetoquilt,
How frustrating for you and after all the thought and labor you put into that quilt.
I can identify with the feelings you must have experienced because I too went down that road. I gave a quilt to a friend and the response was "I'm not into quilts" and with that comment handed the quilt back to me.
However, that was the only time and I have and will continue to make and give away quilts as gifts or as I call them the "just because" quilts. "Just because" I want to!
