Well I think some people don't actually know the value of a quilt...eitehr teh work put into it or the cost of it..quilting is not a cheap hobbie so I guess it is our job as gift givers to know whether a person will actually value a gift from us.
But as I always tell my children when we give a gift there is no expectations of anything with it..so when I give something is it pushed out of my mind as to whether they will treasure things the way I treasure them...so I guess it is up to you as to which pholosophy on this you will side on.
