lol, some folks just dont get it....the expense, the time, and the thought processes that go into making someone something as a gift...if someone gave me a "butt ugly" quilt, the least i could do is hide that sucker under a bedspread and put it to some use...or make a duvet cover to disquise it...but, in todays economy and for the sake of peace and politeness it would be put to use somehow, someway. and yes, i have some really "butt ugly" quilts and they are in fact on the beds between the sheets and bedspread(or other quilt that might be prettier).
