If Someone Made a Quilt for You
If you knew in advance that you were getting a quilt as a gift, what would make your eyes light up?
Since I am absolutely NO GOOD at needle turn applique, I would love to have something in this venue. I have seen many picture of quilts like this, and they always make me gasp. Maybe someday I will attempt it again, and see if I can get better at it.

I agree. Something like the Baltimore Album type blocks would just knock my socks off. But I would have a tremendous appreciation for anything anyone took the time to make just for me, including a sweater with 2 different size arms! Hand made items give me a sense of love that no amount of money can give. But I have never returned or regifted either. Makes for a lot of clutter, but it's the thought that counts!

are you receiving or giving. it depends on whos giving it what I would expect. my some with my help made one at 7 yrs. old. that's a treasure, and one at 9 and 11, if someone else made them for me, I wouldn't appreciate them, just basic, but oh so special to me.
Have you tried machine app. I shyed away from it for years, and little did I now how great I was at it. try machine
