I know exactly what you mean weezie.. My first "big" quilt top was a Queen sized spread.. meaning that it was bigger than a queen sized quilt. Loved the materials when I bought it, but when I finished the top, I decided that the colors just depressed me and I wanted nothing more to do with it. Fortunately a guy I worked with saw it and offered to buy it and I said "SOLD"
he and his partner had it finished for their new house and loved it.
Personally I love your quilt.. and I agree it would make someone who has lost much very happy ... and grateful for a thoughtful person like yourself.
