Silly Question
 

We make so many quilts for others and ourselves too, but would you want to receive a quilt as a gift? Perhaps its been asked before but I couldn’t find a thread.
Myself, I really appreciate all crafts and would be very touched, what about you?

Absolutely! My BFF quilts, and her style is totally different than mine. She has made some incredible quilts. She does a lot of paper piecing, and hand quilting. I'd be honored to be gifted one of her quilts.

I would love to have a quilt from another quilter.

Count me in! I love handmade things. If it's from a loved one I will love it even if I don't like it just because they made it.
My favorite Aunt crocheted me a blue and white afghan that I adore even though I'm not crazy about crochet. It's really pretty.. I'm so glad I have it. She also was an artist with oils and I have some of her work.

My good friend passed earlier this year. About 3 years ago, she gave me her county fair blue ribbon winning quilt. It's a turned edge Dresden Plate. I love it because it's pretty, but mostly because she made it.

Lisa,
I would like to receive a quilt as a gift even though I have made lots of quilts myself in the 40 some odd years I've been quilting because I know how much love is put into the making of a quilt.

I cherish anything handmade by someone I love. My great-aunt made me an afghan for HS graduation - very unusual colors, but I loved it and kept it until it fell apart. No one has ever made me a quilt though, they probably think it would be like bringing coals to Newcastle.

No, I don't want a quilt. There are so many I have kept that I love. My walls are filled.

I actually did receive a quilt as a gift. My husband saw a cute dachshund quilt on eBay several years ago and bought it for me. I love that quilt.

I have been thrilled and touched each time I’ve received a quilt as a gift.

No, I have enough quilts already. My pleasure is to give them away to deserving people.

No I don’t. I buy chances on quilts but if I ever won I would give away. I hope no one ever gives me one. I would of course be gracious.

when I was going through cancer treatment, a good friend gifted me a quilt specifically made for me....hand stitching all over it with words, like love, hope, courage, chemo, ect. I did use it on my bed....I do cherish it even though I have plenty of quilts.

Because I know the love and time-consuming hard work goes into a quilt, I would cherish any that was given to me.

Sure, I would love any quilt given to me. Each quilt and quilter are special in their own way.https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/heart.gif

Absolutely, I would love to be gifted a quilt. Likewise, we should not forget to gift our quilting friends. I was just thinking that my daughter that quilts is the only close family member that has not been given one of my quilts. Guess I should do something about that.

When my husband died in 2012, my quilt guild gave me a quilt. The front of the quilt had Bible verses and encouraging words on the front. The guild members signed the back. It's one of the dearest gifts I have ever been given. It still means so much to me.

Definitely but also depending on who made it.

I would love it! In fact I just received one of my mother's quilts a couple months ago. I will cherish it for the rest of my life.

Along the same line...When I see a comforter in a store that is amazing, I think, "But you have 20 quilts!" And the feeling passes. If I was gifted a quilt, I would be gracious, but loving it would (secretly) depend on the quilt. I would appreciate the work, but I'm not fond of traditional patterns.
I don't think that I would gift a quilt to a quilter. I wouldn't gift a stained glass window to another stained glass maker, either.

Yes, Someone else's work would not be like mine.

My Daughter has made us afghans, They are beautiful. I no longer crochet and I appreciate the time and work it takes to make them. I also have some cross stitch pictures and items painted by her in the 1980s.

I appreciate handmade anything.

Receiving a quilt as a gift would be amazing for me. As others have said, I know what work goes into the making. If someone thought enough of me to spend their time to make one, I would be so touched. That being said, I don’t have quilts just hanging around my house. I might feel differently if that were the case.

I would love to have a quilt given to me
 

Years ago, before my grandmother passed, she made quilt tops for all of her grandkids. I was young and stupid and not into quilting myself, yet. I looked at all of those loose, uneven stitches, and was not impressed and gave it to Goodwill.
However, since then, I began to quilt, and have since realized how much time, effort and love goes into a quilt. How dearly I would love to have that quilt top back, to have that part of her that she gave to me. I have restarted that tradition, and have begun making quilts for all of my grandchildren. I hope that someday, they, too, will realize the amount of time and love that I put into each stitch.
would I like a quilt as a gift? Absolutely.
