I've made up to 100 gifted quilts, all sizes. 90% were for family and close friends. With the exception of the quilts I made for the two oldest grands, and one I made for my bff and cousin, I've been in all these peoples houses many many many times over the years since making and gifting the quilts, and never seen the quilt out. Yes it's theirs to do with what they want, But lol it would have been nice to at least once seen it being used, even if hanging on a wall, as a tablecover, on a couch, wadded up in the play box for forts, ground cover, something.
I'm a much more believer in USE it please!!, than saving it ...saving it for what??
