I know where you are comming from, you want it to be a surprise! If you felt good about it before your son "turned up his nose" then give it to her. Just watch her reaction, and tell her if she does not care for it you will trade and let her pick the fabric for another and use that one yourself or sell it here!

ps
I love it!I dislike being what I call a clone, I love the unusual and diffrent!

I think it is really neat. What do men know?

Personally, I like it. Anything that someone makes me, even though at times it not quite my tastes, I love it because they took the time to make it for ME!!! Go with your gut!

I agree, if you don't feel good about it, take her to the local quilt store to pick out her material and then make it for her.

First, let me say this is a great purse, very well made, and unique fabric choice!

But it's all a matter of HER personal taste. I know my MIL has given me things that she likes and are very fashionable, but are obviously not my taste.

If this purse fits her personality, then go for it and give it to her. If you think it doesn't fit her style, make another (if you have time) and let her choose.

If you want to be sure, next time give the person fabric choices before you start, then you won't have this heart ache later. Let us know what you decide to do!

How often do you see the girl? Could you use scraps of the fabric and make some random blocks.... casually show them to her like you're going to make a quilt ... and get her reaction? I have a co-worker who was making another co-worker a "mommy" quilt for her baby shower. She brought the fabric in the office and left it out for the new "mommy" to get a glance. From her reaction, she knew the choice was right. The new mom had no idea at the time that the quilt would be given to her.

BTW... I love the purse... and don't think you should take your son's comment to heart to much. I'm with the crowd... what do boys know? lol

I would give it to her, very nice.

I think I would let her see the purse saying it was for someone else then get her opinion on what she thinks of the fabric. If she likes it great if not find out what she would like if it was for her. Or you could wrap it and give it with a note saying it is a prototype and you will go together to choose fabric after Xmas. I love yor purse!
