Yes, this is my thinking, and it's happened to me before, too.

A fleece tied blanket is clearly home sewn, but looking at your quilt it is not immediately apparent that you made it yourself. Is there someone you could ask something like, "I really hope she enjoys the quilt. I tried to pick fabrics that would complement the theme she was going for..."

Although, they really should have been more gracious even if you HAD bought it. How rude!
