I'm so sorry that happened. It is a beautiful quilt...it should be well loved...maybe one day the baby will grow older and absolutely LOVE IT:):) Have made more than one with minkee and they are favorites for my granddaughters and great nieces. Keep up the good work. Your step-niece needs manners, unfortunately.

I agree, it is very hurtful, just the fact it was called "a blanket"..but like earlier stated, she will go through all her many gifts and when she gets them home most likely and look at each gift more closely, and realize it was handmade with love and give you a call. You done a great job! I made a wholecloth baby quilt for a "raffle". I told the girl who was responsible for the items to put it on the table and sell tickets on it..that is will bring alot more as a raffle than as a silent auction..she said ok and then done it as a silent auction and got $20 on it..if she only realized the many hours I spent quilting it, made me sick..the little girl, who was diagnosed with leukemia's family would have received alot more money if she had followed my advice.

Well, sometimes people are so overwhelmed at showers they just don't take time to look the things over. Give her some time. She probably didn't even realize it was made by hand.

When they used a quilt or a blanket they selected it on the basis of color and the clothes the baby was wearing, nothing else. Pink dress, pink blanket, etc. Someone could have put binding on a piece of minky and it would have meant as much to them as a pieced quilt. Go figure.
