I think every quilt is beautiful because they are to the eyes of the creator. If they didn't like it they wouldn't have done it. I also don't expect other people to like a quilt made for them, but we should all be polite and express appreciation for a gift because no one HAS to give you anything. At least that is what my grandmother tought me. What makes me mad is when someone begs you to make them a quilt, even tells you that whatever colors you pick are fine, and when you make it they don't even acknowledge receiving it. That doesn't go only for homemade crafts, also for purchased things. Someone too the time and $ to buy me something and get it to me, to my eye that is more than I was expecting. I always appreciate a gift. If I am lucky eneough that is a home made craft, even better.
