What would you do?

Difficult situation to dealt with. I will wait for others to reply as I dont know what to reply to this. hmmm..:(

If it were me, I'd keep my mouth shut. But if you don't think she would get upset, it probably wouldn't hurt to just ask what other patterns there are and then get all enthusiastic when you see one that you DO like.

Maybe you could simply say you would like a Wedding Quilt?

Grandma just may respect you more for making your voice heard, promise her great grand babies and I'll bet she makes you the perfect quilt!

Hmmm now that is a tough one. I guess first off it would depend on how good of a relationship you have with her. I mean if ya'll are close and can talk about it, ask he if she wouldn't mind making something a little bit simpler and less busy with the colors you plan on using in your bedroom. If ya'll aren't really that close, then maybe ask your soon to be husband to do it. Or like you said bite the bullet and take what she makes, and keep it as a keepsake instead of displaying. In my opinion it would be just as sentimental keeping it as a keep sake for a future child or grand child as displaying it, and it not being what you want.

I would just ask her if she had more patterns i could look at. I don't see why that would be a big deal w/her & might be easier for her to make to. Quilits handmade are such a special thing that i would want one i could use all the time & have it out where everyone could see it. I love quilts & it's quite an honor to u for her to take the time to make u one but know that she would want it to be to your liking.

If your close to her then I would tell her I seen a pattern that I really would love to have and ask her if she would mind if you went with the other pattern if she didn't mind. Do you know how hurt she would be if she found out that you didn't really like it and wouldn't use it. Just be honest and talk to her before she spends all that time making something that you hate. Talk to her and tell her how much you love her and her ideals but tell her the truth. Be honest but be nice about it. She is taking a year out of her life for you it would hurt her if your not honest.

I'd love to tell you to find a nice, polite way of telling her that you aren't too fond of that pattern and perhaps she could find another one for you.

However, I'm no good at such things either. I too would probably just end up dealing with it and finding uses for the blanket. Drape it over an old chair in the living room whenever the grandparents come over, instead of putting it on the bed. That way they'll assume you use it to wrap yourself up while watching TV when it's cold out.

This is an item that's going to be treasured for generations! She let you pick out the colors so I don't think she'd have a problem if you told her that the pattern just doesn't go with your personal style. She's making you a quilt because she wants to give you something very personal to enjoy every day, to keep you warm as she would. Go ahead and tell her! Take a picture of your bedroom so that she can see which style would go best with it and you'll have a reason that she can see when you say you'd prefer a different pattern.

Besides, simpler is easier and faster for her. Tell her how much it will mean to you. I think she'll take it well. Grandmothers want to please above all else and anything she can do to make it as you want it will be appreciated by her.

You really face a difficulty situation!if were you,I will tell her matters about the quilt,she love you and she want give you the best she have.She will be ok,she don't want any displeasure for the wedding.she will be right with you,don't worry.have a nice day.

I would just let her know in a polite way that maybe that is not the design for you. She obviously cares about what you think since she asked for you input on colors and I don't think that you would offend her. Especially since this is for a wedding gift. Maybe she can still pick the design but I would at least let her know that you would prefer something simpler. Grandmothers just enjoy giving such wonderful gifts.
