Many years ago I made a quilt for my SIL's young niece when she went to live with them. Less than a year later the niece went back to live with her mother. My SIL gave the quilt away to a charity (Goodwill or something like that). I would much rather had the quilt returned, or at least offered. I had other relatives who would have loved the quilt. I understand that when a gift is given it is the recipient's to do with as she pleases. However, I was disappointed it meant so little to her and would have rather had it back.
