Am I little upset, yes at first, but then again I did give them to them. What they did with the quilts was their choice. I have also tried to imagine what happens to quilts that I donate. Do the recipients really appreciate the quilt for the remainder of its "life" or does it turn into pets bed or used to lay under the car while the oil is being changed? So, I have learned to just let it go!
If it was left behind maybe the next person who "found" it will treasure it. I like to think my quilts end up where they are most wanted and needed. Even if it is not where I thought that would be.
