I had a similar experience so now I only make quilts for those who I absolutely know will want one. I made one for a lady I worked for and one of my co-workers said you mean all I had to do was ask, I said yes I would have made one if you had asked as did the lady that I made the other one for. There is too much work and time involved to give it to someone you are not sure would like it or not. Glad it has a good & loving new home. Happy endings are great......
