I was kind of distressed over everyone saying ooh and aah when I gave a quilt or showed them a quilt I was making. They (meaning mostly family) didn't really understand the making of them. So, the last quilt I gave away, I took pictures of each step with my digital camera and then I wrote a step-by-step document to go along with the pictures (Put each picture below each step, etc.). When I gave the quilt, I gave the step by step printed out on paper as well as on disk for them to be able to keep longer.
It seemed to generate a little bit more appreciation for the time and effort put into the making of the gift.
