I think that a quilt is like anything else hand made. What if you had knit a woolen sweater starting with raw fleece, washed it, carded it, spun it, knit it, and it absolutely didn't fit the person you gave it to? The person could leave it draped out on a piece of furniture, put it in a shadow box frame, put it in the closet, most anything, but you really wouldn't expect them to wear it. Some quilts don't "fit" the person any better than a wrong size sweater would.
