I have had varied responses to my quilted gifts over the years. It can be hurtful to realize the person you took time out to make this gift for may not have any idea the time , money , and effort that goes into the gift. If I were you I would try to finish and deliver the gift. If you don't get the reaction you are expecting at that point - it may be time to cross them off the list for homemade gifts in future. It would be their loss not yours - chalk it up to experience. Would love to see a pic posted if have one! Try not to let this one experience discourage you!!
