I agree - pretty rude, but remember girls, those end-of-pregnancy hormones! I agree put it away and save it for someone who appreciates it.

BTW, I have 7 kids, and there have been MANY discussions over the years as to what's a "boy color" and what's a "girl color". The concensous depended on who was in the discussion at the time!

It's her loss. That is a breathtakingly beautiful quilt.
Maybe you could give it to a single mother or needy family who would love it for the treasure it is.

Totally agree. When you take the time, effort and love to put into a homemade quilt, it is extremely rude to tell you that it is unwanted. I would be sure to cross her off my list of people to make ANYTHING for. Send some diapers.

I think it is a beautiful quilt!!!
And I don't know whose call it was to decide what color co-ordinates with what kid ??? Some of us are kin to some REAL jerks. I see you got one of them, too!!
Cowboys wear pink shirts from time to time, and my girls had blue dresses.
It's a lovely quilt, and warmth and love are what should count.
And I wouldn't send her any diapers, either. Raging prenatal hormones are NO excuse for being rude.

Some people just don't like or even appreciate hand-made anything including quilts. Ay least she told you rather than jamming it unloved and unused in a closet. Save it for a special gift for a quilt worthy recipiant. I agree with FQ Stash Queen. Send her diapers.

I think it's beautiful. That's like my niece. When she was little I made her some toys and she wouldn't even play with them because of the color. I made her a blue elephant (that's the only fabric I had at the time) and she told me she didn't want it because you never saw a blue elephant. Well she never saw a gray one from me, either. LOL

She's still that way and she's over 40 years of age, now.

So sorry. Hope you can find someone who needs, and will appreciate it!

It is a very lovely quilt.

The quilt is lovely! The colors are perfect for any baby. I hope you save it for somebody who will appreciate it!

It's a BABY quilt for gosh sakes. A really lovely one too, what is she thinking? Next time you see her wearing "blue" jeans, exclaim she looks like a BOY! I'm sorry she acted so ungrateful!
