I can not believe your SIS in law. That quilt is great! I'm glad your grandson is getting it.
It brings back a memory from an older gentleman who used to shop were I helped out at. He would come in and say wrap up anything - because she will return it no matter what it is.

It's a very nice quilt.
But I don't think it's fair to diss the SIL if she doesn't like it.
I've seen lovely, expensive, beautifully crafted things that I just did not care for. My liking or not liking the thing had nothing to do with the maker.
I'm glad the quilt is going to someone that WILL like it -
Did SIL give it back to you?
If so, aren't you glad she did that rather than put it in a yard sale for $1.00?
Do/Did you get along/like each other before this?
Just another thought -

Sisinlaw, never saw the quilt, I described it to her and she asked if it had a tent in it and I said no, she said then she didn't want it. We get along very well and she thinks I am the greatest thing since sliced bread, and looks to me for words of wisdom, I'm old enough to be her Mother.
I'm not planning on hurrying to make another anytime soon, she has a comforter and a very nice log cabin type quilt from me. I've never seen them being used, probably spend their time in the closet. I know my DGS will use it.

My feelings about this quilt are that, as with any present, you need to be sure that the recipient is going to appreciate it. My daughter in law didn't get a handmade gift this year, becuase I wasn't sure that she would appreciate it.
She went absolutely bananas when she saw the homemade bags I made for everyone else. She will get one for her birthday, but at least I know she will appreciate it!
