I made a quilt for a couple in Vanuatu for Xmas, and didn't intend for it to be a bed quilt-just a couch throw. They wanted it for their bed and asked me to add a bigger border. I had hand-quilted it and sewed on the binding by hand-and just didn't think another border would look good on that quilt. I suggested if they wanted it on their bed, they either got a matching plain spread (in this case, a white spread would have looked best) and use my quilt at a topper. They didn't like that, and kept "hinting" that they wanted it made bigger, even suggesting I "sew" the quilt to a queen size spread. Sort of hurt my feelings a bit, but I didn't do it. The next year, they got an Xmas tree skirt!
