I'm in complete agreement! I often post pictures of my quilts on Facebook and recently my Aunt asked when she was going to get hers (she was KIND OF joking). Now first I come from huge families and have like 40+ aunts and uncles so only very special family members will get them. My reply was simply that quilts are very expensive to create but they are also very special gifts of love so I don't take requests. I create what moves me.
