As hard as it may be to believe - not everyone wants a quilt. If the person says "I don't want one" - believe him/her.

If the person has a track record of being ungrateful, don't bother. At least, not with a quilt.

If a person is notorious for not taking care of his/her things, don't bother.

Another way to look at the gift of a quilt - besides the out of pocket expense, count the actual time spent working on it - at whatever your regular pay per hour is (if reitired, use minimum wage) - How many people - especially acquaintances - do you spend $200 or more on?
