Ain't that some good advice. Even at that, people's tastes change and a quilt that made someone happy when first given may not suit the purpose in a new desing.
I try really hard to let go when I give a quilt. Of course I love to hear that it is still being loved years later, but I'm as OK with the situation when I don't hear that.
