I have given away numerous quilts - mostly to family - some to friends. Some I know have been used. Others are 'saved'. And still others I have no idea what their status is. I just don't worry about it. I enjoyed it when I made it and I enjoyed giving it. Whether or not they enjoy it (or appreciate it) is beyond my control. I would possibly be hurt if I discovered it was given to the dog but it is no longer mine. I try to focus on the enjoyment I received from making it and giving it.
