My dear Aunt used to knit afghans for the family, and when she got older she switched to knitting slippers that weren't all that comfortable. But my Mom liked them, so we all surreptitiously passed them on to her after Christmas.
I don't plan to start asking recipients if they want a quilt, because the giving is something I want to do. But I do get nervous about whether they will like them. I hope that people who don't really like a quilt or feel the need of one would feel free to give it away. The main thing is to have them used and enjoyed.
