I don't get my feelings hurt so much as I am astonished at the poor manners exhibited when someone doesn't like a handmade gift given to them. Worse case scenario, use it as a blanket under a comforter or bedspread!!! Or put it away for later!!

But - be gracious and send a thank you very much message to the maker!!

I know it's not the baby - tell your friend to wait until the baby is old enough to say what he likes and make a quilt then and give it to the kid on his birthday. Just my humble opinion.
