"As a matter of fact I do expect the recipient to jump up and down, and if they don't I snatch up the quilt and bring it back home with me. LMAO"
How sad! Then you are not giving the gift in the right spirit. I am one who jumps up and down when I get a handmade gift. But not all are the same. I quilt because I love the process. I have made quilts for my DG with LOVE and so they can be wrapped in my love to keep them warm. They can treat the quilts as they like because there is always fabric to make more. I also try to make gifts in colors that the person will like so as not to have them say "that is not my color or it doesn't go with my room." Share the spirit.
