I would have done it and given the basket to somebody else who would have appreciated it. she doesn't make anything. couple years have passed now without me making her anything, can't help it, i just got ticked off and will NEVER get over it. so NO NO don't make her a quilt, she might tear it up and make pot holders out of it. i've made that same neighbor several other things in the past - but NEVER again.
At least she liked part of it well enough to use it. Maybe it was hard for her to store?

Maybe she was embarrassed to ask you to make "just" a doily part for her?

How did she treat other items you have given her?
