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

I would love to be 'gifted' with a beautifully embellished Crazy Patch quilt with lovely silks, velvets, beads, laces etc etc.... I am actually kind of planning a small version for myself..just in the planning stages....

I have done many in the machine applique. That is all I am comfortable with. Tried once to do the needle turn, but it was very lumpy. I felt I had wasted fabric. Good thing it was just a small trial piece.

Anything would make me happy.

I am the only crafter out of everyone I know irl so a simple patch work would make me bawl I'd be so happy

I guess I'm weird but I would not want anyone to make a quilt for me since I make them myself. I LOVE it when people bring me back a thimble from their travels though.

I absolutely love any handmade gifts that the person made themselves. To me it shows the person thought enough of me to make it.

Storm at Sea out of the fabrics that I have stashed away

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'll take one of those, too!
