That's the only reason I can think of because I really don't like the quilt for myself. The colors aren't ones I'd pick out for myself, and I have no use for it. It was intended for my mom from the get go so it's not like I ever once thought about keeping it.
Does anyone else have this issue with gift quilts, or am I just goofy?
No problem yet. I've given away all the quilts I've finished. The cutest one was hard to part with, but was the most important of all the gifts because it was for a sick child. Once I sent it and he received it, I was totally fine. I haven't had a moment's regret. I bet it will be the same for you with your bargello gift for Mom.
