I haven't seen any of these race quilts that I would be willing to have in my home or give as a gift.

Sometimes you need a quick gift - this quilt is a good pattern for that.
Not everyone "races". I took a couple of days to make my first, original quilt. And I happen to think it eventually turned out quite pretty. I get lots of compliments on it, as you can see from this thread.
