Well, in this area, I think I'm blessed. My husband and my daughter see how much I put into each quilt and both are not only my strongest supporters, but my most appreciative recipients! :D The rest of my family and friends treasure their quilts too. But I have to admit, most have asked me at one time or another in general conversation how much time and effort goes into a quilt so it was easy to educate them. Some were surprised at the time and money involved, but all appreciate their quilts and seem to know their value, both sentimental and monetary. :-)
