I made my niece and her new husband a wall hanging in the colors she chose for her living room furniture. It was one of my first quilts and a few of the points were pointless. I spent a lot of time and money on it and was happy to give it to her. She thanked me and folded the quilt to be hung later. I found out she threw it away as she didn't want things on her walls. I was quite hurt. But I have since learned that her taste is not my taste and the quilt was now hers and she had every right to do with it what she wanted. I've since made quilts for other family members who use them and love them as intended. I'm just more careful in studying them and their tastes to get the quilt 'right'.
