I am too a person who believes once a gift is given - it is out of your hands. But somehow --- I know this family and you can trust my instincts... the quilt went to Goodwill. AND the bride's Mother-inLaw has been silent and treats her daughter-in-law well.
Just make sure whoever you might make a quilt for will appreicate it and the thought and effort that goes into making them.

I gave my eldest daughter I quilt that she requested, it's sitting on a shelf in the linen cupboard, because they don't want to wreck it. I gave a fellow worker a quilt for Christmas, and her mum told her after the first week of sleeping under it every night, "put it away, she didn't go to all thaat trouble for you to destroy it by use."
Needless to day , she has been told if she wears it out, I will make her another, even if we're not working together then. It's nice to have work appreciated, and a quilt used for its purpose.

once you give it- it is no longer yours- it does not matter what happens to it next - it is really not your business...
harsh? perhaps- but really- the way it is--
when you give you give---if you loan it- well then you have every right to ask where it is.
