Oh wow, I don't know how I missed responding to this thread, but I really love that... in fact, I think I will put that on my to-do list for the next year!
I would be so insulted if someone didn't like my gift, I don't think I would make them anything else! I'm having trouble putting into words exactly what I'm trying to say here... but wow, just... wow! Unless this person was actually paying for the piece, and had specific 'requirements' for me to make a quilt for them then you get what you get... GEEEEEEEZZZZZ.
I'm going to stop right here, because I'm going to start flaming.
Your quilts are absolutely beautiful, I don't know a single person who would not be absolutely tickled to receive that as a gift, myself included. I'm sorry she's totally bummed you over this.
