It hung around and hung around so.....Son #2's x-wife was at the house to get my gr son and I gave it to her. She didn't feel funny about it at all, in fact she loved it. OMG OMG Son#3/Mrs were upset. I was in soooooo much trouble. I finally got it right when I made son #3/Mrs a set of twin quilts. What did they want me to do with it? I found it a new home. OHHH WEll. I know that doesn't fix your situation, but they are not quilt people and they don't have a clue what a quilt is, does...the thought, work, planning. It is total rejection and I am sorry this happened to you.
But I really can't understand them being upset with whatever you chose to do with it! They gave it back, it's over so far as they were concerned.
Makes me wonder how they would have reacted had you put a sleeve on the quilt and hung it in your living room!

The best tip I saw on this was to have the quilt appraised, then when you gift it tell the recipient to insure it for X hundreds (thousands) of dollars. For some reason, assigning a monetary value really changes some people's opinions.
