I agree with Neesie. Recently, my husband's cousin's wife was very thoughtful to think of me (220 mi. from us) and purchased an old quilt top for me, unbeknownst to me. She was at a sew/vac place to buy a vacuum and a lady had some old tops for sale. It was SO ugly, terrible sewing like yours, awful colors. I expressed appreciation, took it home, but could not bring myself to offer to pay her. When we left that weekend, she asked if I'd like her to purchase any more if she finds them there in the future. I politely declined, stating that I already have several of my own to finish (not true).....just needed to be gracious, but sure didn't want to feel obligated to take them! I kept it for several weeks and debated about replacing some of the most garish blocks with better colors and finally decided to donate to Goodwill. By the way, I offered to sandwich and finish the quilt for HER home, but she declined so maybe she didn't find it attractive either. LOL
