It's a little heartbreaking when we pour time and effort, and usually much love, into our quilts, only to have it not appreciated. I'm sorry your beautiful quilt isn't appreciated as it should be. It's beautiful. I made a baby quilt for someone, who did thank me, but there was no enthusiasm behind it. I later learned that this woman is very status-oriented, and my quilt did not have the magic designer label. I know how much work and love went into it, and I am still glad I gave it. I won't worry about the gift's reception. Besides, everyone has different tastes, and that's all right.
