My comment is a little away from the quilt. However, when my daughter-in-law was expecting my first little grandson for the shower I knitted a whinny the pooh sweater and a couple of other sweaters for the baby. Never, never, never did she ever use them or talk about them or anything. I was so hurt and disappointed. Today she and my son have divorced but I still feel the hurt from her. But I love my two little grandsons so much. She was very ungrateful for anything I ever brought into their house. I tried with all my heart to please her but I never did succeed. Sometimes, we just can't win............her loss!!!!!!

I am so glad that you took that quilt back. It makes me wonder if I did the right thing with a quilt that my great aunt made for my oldest. It was so beautiful, amd she put so much work into it, that I kept it aside. I wish I hadn't now.

I certainly wouldn't give a second thought to the gal who had the audacity to be rude and selfish. Hope she had a long, hard labor (yes, I can be bitchy). The baby who sleeps beneath your quilt will be blessed and it's mom is a jewel.

So glad your story had a happy ending. So many times when I saw a special event coming up I thought of making a quilt, but over years and similar responses to quilts given, I've learned to pinch myself first :)

Thank you for sharing this sweet story. It is nice when we sometimes find out what the master plan is. As for the person who rejected your beautiful, handmade gift, reject any future "gifting opportunities." She has made it perfectly clear that she is NOT your friend.
