Any quilts I've given as gifts have always been well received. I relate to the difficulty in making specific quilts. I'm making a Storm At Sea for my sister's 60th (April gone!). I wanted to make something special. I've had nothing but bother with it, the top is made lots of corners cut off but I know she won't notice that. It needs quilting, can't get the back to load on the frame square! The result is I don't like the quilt, I can't be objective about it and am dreading giving it to her, I'm hoping once it's finished I'll fall back in love. Lesson learned, make special quilts with no one in mind.
