I agree. If I make a quilt as a gift it's a gift not a commissioned job. I'm the sort that doesn't ask opinions about color or block placements for my quilts. I will show what fabrics or pattern design I'm thinking about using but don't ask others what do you think I should use. I don't understand why others do that at guild. They bring in a finished quilt top and want others to decide the border, backing and binding choice. Seldom do I see what I consider a good choice from what fabric they bring to choose from, most are usually what fabric they have enough of to use not that it actually works with the colors they have in the top.
