if you have evidence to back up your assumption and you already know it will bother you then don't give her the quilt. save it for somebody else or donate it to charity.
don't set yourself up for a case of the grumpies. ;-)
Patrice says it all. I made crib quilt for my Husbands niece. It was a precious moments panel with borders. The borders had a design on the 2 end and one side. About 8 inches plain. I didn't want to waste it so what i did because it was a large crib quilt I used some software I had that printed out letters in all kinds of ways. Printed out her name and appliqued her name on that border. The mom was maybe 19 was so proud she put it up for a heirloom and said when she got old enough to appreciate it she would give it to her. Well I made it to use and really thought it would be used,battered you know cause of the youth . You can never tell untill you do it. Gave one just as nice to a lady in her 30's saw it outside in yard. So do a Patrice suggests and you will know the next time. By the way Baby is now 7 yrs. old and mom still has it put up. LOL. I lost the pic. of that quilt in hurricane Jeanne. I need to get in touch with the mom and tell her to take a pic. so I will have one.
