Well I think whenever you are given a gift you should be polite and appreciate the thought. Just that someone cared about you enough to give you a gift is a blessing you know.
I know what you are saying though, that is why I hesitate every time I think of gifting a quilt.
I started a quilt when my nephew got engaged and I was concerned. I couldn't help but to wonder if they would think "why would you give me this?" especially when you think about how many other gifts come along at a wedding
You know what, I come to the realization that I wanted to make the quilt. I don't know if I care if they love it as much as I do. Something in me just wants to sew. I can't help myself.
maybe it will sit in a closet or maybe they will use it... but I know I was going to sew either way
I do hope they use it though
