There's only 2 people I have gifted quilts too, my mom & a girlfriend. My mom's is a memory quilt she hung on the wall.
But I learned years ago - don't assume they'll like it. My SIL was going to sell for $1 a very large embroidered piece I had made for my brother when he was single. My girlfriend rescued it & has it hanging in her home. She told SIL she'd pay her $100 for it. SIL didn't realize GF was serious.
