When I was going thru chemo - I received a prayer quilt from the people at church. It was a basic 4 patch but it was the first time anyone has given me a quilt/blanket, so I was so touched I could barely talk. All the prayers that came with it were wonderful too.

If someone gave me a quilt they made I would cherish it and be very, very touched, regardless of what it looked like. I love handmade whatever it is, show someone thought enough about you to devote their time and attention into creating something with their hands just for you!

A gift of love
If any gift is handmade, it's a gift of love. No person knows how much time and effort a handmade gift takes until they make one themselves. People often look at sewn a and handmade items at craft fairs or shops and think they are priced too high. Let them attempt to make same item and they probably would of wised they had bought the item they had seen. I'd be nothing but appreciative for any gift given to me where someone took their time and effort to make.

I would love anything someone spent that much time and effort on. But I think I would be ecstatic about a memory quilt with fabrics that have personal stories. Or colors make a big difference to me - a quilt with purple, turquoise and green would definitely make me smile.

The only way I've gotten a quilt someone else has made is to rescue them from the thrift store and for some reason they feel so special when I use them. If someone really made me one, I wouldn't care what it was , just the fact that someone actually took the time to make it just for me.

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.
