I understand totally. I quilted a blanket panel for my own daughter's baby shower (one that she requested). I have not seen her use it yet. Although I do see all of the "store bought" blankets that she received at her shower. Maybe when she gets older and more mature, she will realize all of the effort that was put into this blanket. I LOVE handmade items...but many others do not appreciate the efforts or have any clue as to how many hours go into making a blanket. Your quilt gift is beautiful and should be greatly appreciated. Will last much longer than a store bought item and contains much more love. You did good!
