When I offered to make a quilt for my granddaughter and sent pics to her mom of the stars I was going to use and then didn't hear back, I decided that I'd just make her a tote bag with the stars. It's way too much work for something that may not be appreciated. I emphathize with you! My parents always had us kids write out thank yous before we could play with our gifts, so I don't get it when folks don't do this.
