Your quilt is beautiful and all of us know what went into making it. I don't think you are being too sensitive and I know how you feel. Only other crafters appreciate handmade items of any kind. I am too new to making quilts to even think about making one as a gift for anyone, but I have experienced this same type of result from cross stitching gifts. I don't take it personal because people just don't understand what goes into such gifts. Now, I pretty much know that I will not make or give a handmade gift for anyone unless I know it will be appreciated for what it is. I am sure as they use the quilt, and understand more about how it is made, they will appreciate it more. Great job on the quilt!
