Wow, some of you have had some real rude reactions to your hard work. I had no idea the work that goes in to a quilt, so I know that no one else does either.
The friends I made a baby quilt for recently did not acknowledge the gift. I had to get my brother to give it to them as I couldn't visit on the day they invited us. I had to email and ask if they opened it, only then did I get a thank you. Feel so deflated that all that hard work I put into it and I didn't even get a phone call to say thanks.
I think Kara and Mary are right - you should pick and choose who gets a quilt! But despite all this, the actual making of a quilt is so enjoyable and rewarding and we should all be proud of ourselves, even if others are not so impressed (I'd like to see them try it!!!)
