If you are OK with them giving it away or using it for a dog blanket, there is that. I've heard the phrase "quilt worthy" a few times and I actually do make sure the recipient would appreciate a handmade quilt. Someone else on this board makes picnic quilts for gifts and I think that is a great idea. This is just my 2 cents worth!
