All of us on this forum know how much time, love and effort goes into making a quilt, but not everyone does. Or if they do know it, they don't appreciate it. There are some friends and family members I no longer make things for, or if I do make something, I make sure it's a quick and easy version, because I know they really don't care about stuff that is made by hand. It sounds as though your sister may have hurt your feelings, but tone is pretty hard to evaluate from the written word, and at least she thanked you!

And the Kaffe Fassett quilt sounds beautiful, so feel free to send it my way. I'd definitely appreciate it.
