I can very well see why this one gave a large "hurt" to part with. I do not think that I could let go of such a gorgeous quilt, no matter the price. That is a lot of time and perfection going bye-bye in that quilt.

I seem to form an attachment to every one I make. By the time I spend so much time on them, it's hard to let them go. My problem though is I don't have much family to give them to & they all have quilts now. My special friends already have them now, too. It's the process of making them that I love.

Beautiful quilt! I can understand both why the family member wanted to purchase it (what a lovely gift it will make) and why you want to hang on to it. I do not have a stash of quilts because I seem to always be making them for someone else - my own just do not get done - I have at least 3 UFOs that are mine and have been in process for about 6 years. Oh well.

Every quilt I have made has been on request for someone...you get so attached its like saying goodbye to a close friend! I know some I will never see again do to distance so I take pictures, clear my mind and go on to the next quilt on the list. I need to put my name on that list because I still do not have a quilt! Your quilt is so beautiful,
it does help to know that others are enjoying all of your hard work!

I have an attachment to lots of quilts ... and sometimes have a problem starting a project for someone else, as I want it for me, not as a give-away! 
The colours flow so nicely in that quilt that I can totally see why you are
to see it leave. Just remember that you had it for nine years and now someone else can enjoy it.

I don't form any attachments to any quilts. Make all of mine with the intention of making someone else happy. Give lots to local charities
