Ever had someone tell you not to make them a quilt?

Yes, My DIL. About 2 years ago, she said they had received as gifts several of the "Tie fleece blankets" & had a few quilts already, so they really didn't need any more. I figured that was honest & I wasn't going to do all that work if it wouldn't be appreciated. BUT.........she just gave me a couple of her quilts that were quite worn out to make mats for our Pug Rescue group so maybe she' in the market for a new one??? I

I started to make a small quilt for my sister and made the mistake of showing it to her. I asked if she would like it finished for her dining table or as a wall hanging. Her reply was ... I should finish it how ever I wanted and then give it to her daughter who really liked the colors!
That was several months ago and I did NOT finish it for my niece! Today, I bought a couple of yards of complimentary fabric and I will send it to Linus Quilts for them to send to Haiti.
My sister will never know!

My mom didn't really care for quilts. I think she made some negative association to growing up during the depression and her grandmother quilting out of necessity. She also had three daughters who all quilted, knitted and crocheted, so she had more afghans and quilts than anyone should have to store. In 2002 we both decluttered the closets and took over 30 afghans and lap quilts to a nursing home. She loved that we put so much effort into her gifts, and she used them, but quilts were just not her favorite things. Maybe your dad just doesn't like quilts.
