I know how you feel. My son and dear DIL have never put a double sided quilt my Mom made for their wedding gift on any bed in their home. I did a counted cross stitch for them as well. My son made a point of showing me that he had put it up in their first home. Now it isn't up at all! I am learning to be VERY careful what I make for them. They seem to like a jacket that I made for their daughter, but not the dress. You would think they could put it on her once when I was there. I also made a Dr. Suess quilt that she has used I think b/c it was in the wash. LOL
