I was visiting some months later and saw the quilt on the floor with the dog lying on it. I was heartbroken! I don't feel it was deliberate neglect, she just did'nt understand the work that had gone into it. I love her and I know she loves me......but........no more quilts. :(

I probably would have sat down and cried!
ok I have a confession, when I was first married we were given a quilt by my husbands's grandma and it was a regular size and we had a queen size bed so we didn't use it but when I had babies I would put in on the floor for them to lay on and we'd take it in the car in the winter for them to snuggle under. I wonder if her feelings were hurt to see it on the floor. I had no idea but I now am the very proud owner of several of her quilts and I treasure them. And I have two very old and frayed quilts on my quest room twin beds. Some things take time to appreciate and your grand daughter will too at some point and you can have a stash of very nice quilts ready for her to love.
