Yup, you have to figure out who will appreciate your gift and who won't. I feel like I make the quilts mostly for the enjoyment of creating something and try to find someone who will enjoy using them. If they don't ... oh, well.
Kind of reminds me of years ago when my sister was into making ceramics and very proud of her bowls, vases, etc. Wasn't my kind of thing but I really tried to seem happy to get everything she gave me because she got such joy out of the making and giving. Looking back, I hope she never felt her gifts were under-appreciated. Now I know what it feels like.
