I wouldn't be offended. It was probably meant as a compliment. But I don't think I'd feel obligated either. People who don't know anything about quilting don't appreciate the commitment of time, effort, talent, money that it takes to complete one. And, sadly, they often don't appreciate it even when you do put forth the effort to make them a special gift. I'm very selective about who I make quilts for these days, even among my family members. I went to a bed-turning once and a beautiful quilt was displayed, made in the 50's, with a huge three-cornered tear in it. It seems that the owner's husband (whose mother had made the quilt) had laid it down on the floor and used it to slide a bureau from one side of the room to the other. It was enough to make you weep. The quilt was stunning. Who could do that? Well, someone who just doesn't know quilting and doesn't care much. And there are lots of them.
