Sorry to hear this...if you searched disappointed at the top of this page you would find 95% of the topics posted with that as the title have to do with gifts that are given and not appreciated...sadly..not everyone GETS quilts/quilting....

It is adorable. I don't know what to say. It is so beautiful and I just can't believe anyone wouldn't appreciate it. Now the baby will be a whole different matter. He will love the softness and the colors. I'm sorry this happened to you. You took time and thought and it is hard not to have your efforts appreciated.

I recently made a quilt for my other half's cousin for a wedding gift. We didn't attend the wedding but gave it to her at a family gathering afterwards. When she took it out of the bag, she was excited because she loved the colors. I wanted to make sure she saw the quilt label on it so I showed it to her and she said "You made this?" then she was even more excited!!! I don't know that she knew that I quilted so she wasn't expecting it to be hand made. After letting her know that it was handcrafted, she had a totally different respect for it. It doesn't hurt to let the receiptant know that you made it specifically for them. Other wise, they might just think it is mass produced and store bought.

As soft as that quilt is that baby is going to love it, and it will be drug around and cuddled with so just put that picture in your mind. I wish sometimes I had something like that to make my bad times go away.
