You are being more generous about it than I would be. I have been making family reunion quilts for 20+ years, as every other year we try to get together as a family unit even though we are scattered from coast to coast. I thought these would be considered heirlooms, especially since many have been made in memory of those who have gone before. Imagine my surprise then when I get a Christmas card from my nephew with him lying on the floor with his dog on top of the second quilt I had done and that had been made in memory of my brother who had passed away just a few months before. I now we can't tell people how to use the quilts, but unfortunately many people do not value our quilts the way we do. Don't get me wrong, I have made quilts for babies, for charitable organizations, etc., but I thought my reunion quilts were special since each family contributed fabric towards the quilt. Oh well. I'll get over it eventually.
