That's a beautiful quilt and I'm so glad it found the right home. I have recently gotten to have that feeling you get when it's loved and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. As for the first person, like I tell my kids, consider that person ignorant and incapable of acting better. If she's having a baby she'll soon get a dose of the "real" world.

Kudos to you for first talking to the mother, second retrieving the quilt and third giving it to someone who will cherish it always. So glad you didn't buy a second gift!!

This is an absolutley gorgeous quilt. If this sin't your best work, your other work must be really awesome. I have made 2 baby quilts, neither recipient ever bothered to say Thanks. I will be very selective in making more. I am now making quilts for charity. I think they will be appreciated more.

Since you told that lady that didn't like your quilt that you would make her another one. You gave your word and should keep it.

I agree that the quilt is beautiful and the second recipient was truely grateful. I would have written a note to the first recipent and said that I could not afford to buy off of her registry as the quilt had taken the money I would have used. I'm sorry she didn't like it but I can't replace it.

How could someone not want this quilt. It is very bright and colorful for a child or adult for that matter

GOOD for you for speaking up. I'd go back to the Mom's and reclaim the wedding quilt also!

I have been less than impressed with present/gift giving lately. Even the little kids tear off the wrappings and throw their presents in a pile. Nothing is really appreciated. Most of the time they do not even acknowledge attendance at the parties.

I am saving quilts for comfort needs (those sick etc.) and those in hospital/nursing homes. Only give to parents who know the work that goes into a homemade present. I dont care if they use it on the floor or put it on the wall. Just enjoy and appreciate.
