My mother wanted a quilt for their bedroom and I let her choose the fabric. The pattern showed a splashy floral print in the center of each block, which would have been beautiful. But my mother (who was extremely picky about exact shades of colors she liked and did not like, and also was not a "splashy" person), chose a very small tone-on-tone medium blue for the centers. I did not enjoy making it, and I did not like it when it was completed. But the important part was that she loved it so of course I never mentioned how much I disliked it.
When we cleaned out my parents' room at Palm Village when my father moved to skilled nursing, I was unsure what to do with this quilt. A good friend was helping move, and when he overheard us wondering what to do with it, he mentioned that he really liked it and was sure his wife would like it as well. So we handed it off to him and it has found a good home where it continues to be loved. By someone. Not me...
