You have every right to be upset! I have only been in the quilt hobby a couple of years and the work and time to create a quilt, even a small one can be a lot of work and expense. I am sorry it did not work out better and yes, next time, I would just give money if I were you. I would love to be able to donate a quilt, but do not feel I am experienced enough, but if this happened, it would break my heart. I hope the next quilts you create are loved and cherished as they should be.
