That is called tact, quiltsRfun, I agree with you. I don't know what it hurts to keep and love something someone made or gave you, maybe we shouldn't be so picky. Maybe we could learn to love different colors, etc. If anyone ever gave me a quilt I would be thrilled to death. Maybe I say this because we never had much growing up and for someone to gift us something like that means a whole bunch to me.

Smile, say thank you and give an honest complement on color, fabric choices or the time and love that went into the quilt. I have a quilt on my bed right now that's not exactly what I was hoping for but I know the person who made it struggled with each stitch since she has severe arthritis. Seeing that quilt reminds me of the love she put into it.
