I am probably too sensitive, but I would be very hurt if a quilt I gave to someone was not treated with respect. I hand quilt, so it takes me most of a year to complete one. Not to mention the cost. I have just completed a first anniversary quilt for my son and DIL and though things are a bit tight right now, I am flying with it to Oregon to hand deliver it. I want to see their faces and hear their voices when they receive it. It they don't like it or don't seem to appreciate what they are getting, it will be the last one I will ever do for them. I feel like I made every stitch with love, and I am definitely emotional tied to the quilt. I guess because I appreciate my grandmother's quilts so much, I want the recipient to have that same feeling of appreciation for what it took for me to complete their quilt.
