When I make a quilt for a wedding or a baby quilt for folks I don't know well, i always send a note that says, in part:
" I make my quilts to be used. If this quilt is not to your taste, please feel free to pass it along to someone who might enjoy and use it. "
I would rather have them passed along than crammed in a closet for 20 years.
You made a great point that everyone has different tastes in patterns and color selections. From now on if I'm making a quilt for a gift, I'll check first to see their preference on color and pattern :D
