I made a king-size quilt for my son and his (then) wife. After he remarried, his new wife put the quilt in a recycling box even though it had a label on the back saying it had been hand-quilted for my son. Thankfully, my dd rescued it and I have it with me now. I've never mentioned it to my son.
I can understand how a new wife wouldn't want bedding that another woman had used, but I will never make another quilt for that son. His kids, yes, but he and his wife, no! Although I do think that once a quilt is made and gifted that it's up to the new owner what they want to do with it. That new wife didn't own that quilt she was throwing away so she was wrong....she should have folded it up and put it away in a closet.
