I made two quilts this year and got so-so reactions for both of them. My sister and my niece both got quilts from me this year. My niece opened it and smiled halfway and said that it might match her room once it's painted. She wasn't overly excited but she wasn't rude, either. I gave my sister a large D9P quilt in the 3 colors she told me when I asked her months ago what 3 colors she would want to us to decorate her living room. (Burgundy, cream & black) She didn't even unfold the quilt to see what it looked like. I've learned my lesson about sewing for those who don't appreciate it!
