Friends who we have known and loved since we were young are coming to visit us in a month or two. I was going to try to make another Scrappy Lattice for them, but the only fabric I had enough of to do the lattice strips is a print. That made me think that even though we've used this one for a couple of months that I would wash and label it for them and then have the second one for our bed when it is done. A couple of reasons. One, it would take the time crunch off of me, I wouldn't have to feel like it had to be done quickly and second, it's already a fairly busy quilt and the print will probably make it a bit busier. Most men like plainer things and I think that our friend may be one of them. Would it be tacky to give them this one even though we've used it for a couple of months? |
I don't think tacky at all. It will even be softer and more comfy after another wash.
ReplyDeleteNot tacky at all! It's a lovely quilt and handmade with love.
ReplyDeleteNot tacky. Who would ever know anyway? Only you, and you don't need to tell. The quilt is beautiful and what a beautiful gift from your heart. They will (or should!) love it!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a lovely idea. If they understand quilts they'll treasure it even more knowing that you loved it so much; if they don't understand quilting then don't tell them, they'll never know.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Amanda and they should be honored that you would do this for them. That is a beautiful quilt.I am sure they will love it! Hugs,Marie
ReplyDeleteI have sold not one but two quilts right off my bed. (Not intentionally but it happened, twice) And if people are willing to pay money for a quilt that is obviously used, why wouldn’t someone treasure a quilt that is slightly used and greatly loved.
