Totally agree with this.
Ive recently finished a pretty ambitious (for me!) quilt top, and will spend the next few weeks quilting it.
Not at all sure what to do with it after that.
As of now, I’m planning to offer it to one of my daughters, but will ask her to tell me in complete honesty if she likes it/wants it/ will use it!
I don’t care if it gets stained or worn out; actually those would be good things!
But I’d be heartbroken if she put it in the back of the closet, or put it in the donation bag when I’m not looking!
I won’t be offended if she tells me upfront she doesn’t like it……I’m sure I’ll think of something to do with it!!
