I usually send a story with my quilts too, but when I see it later in the bottom of a trunk with a dirty tire laying on it, it ticks me off after all the time/effort/money that goes into one, some just do not appreciate or understand what goes into making a quilt, especially if it is a nice pattern or lots of applique'; I still think they need to be 'quilt worthy' before receiving one; if it's a child and they lie one it, sleep with it, tinkle on it, not a problem, at least it's being used and enjoyed, which is why you gave it to them, but when it's dirty, covered with mud, laying in the trunk and not taken care of, they won't get another one...
