When my son was about 4 years old he wanted to get his Dad a Christmas present so he picked it out and I paid for it. I helped him to wrap the gift and sent it with him when his Dad came to pick him up for Christmas Eve. When his Dad brought him home the gift was also returned but not when either of us was looking. When my son saw the gift sitting by the door he burst out in tears and wanted to know why his Dad didn't want his gift. When I called my son's Dad to ask why the gift was returned he said it was because I had paid for it. Duh! My son was only 4 and even though I'd paid for it, it was still from his son. Try explaining to a 4 year old what a jerk is!!! Anyway....make sure the gift will be accepted since you will have a hand in making the quilt. It would be a real shame to put in that much time and effort only to have it returned or refused. Not to mention hurt feelings. Just thought I'd share my experience to help you decide how to handle this touchy situation.
