Maybe you can find out where she donated it and get it back. Not to give to her, but to keep for yourself. You put a lot of hard work into it, she should have, at the very least, given it back to you. Sorry you had to go through that though.

Well I guess your mom's gonna be getting cheap gifts from you from now if any at all.

My sincere sympathies, OP. My mother was the same -- she never liked the gifts I gave her and now I am overly anxious about giving gifts to people. You are a good person to put so much effort into a gift, and I hope one day she realizes how superficial she has been. In the meantime, you did the right thing to give someone a gift from the heart.

The situation stinks, but she donated it. If it was donated to Goodwill or the Salvation Army there's a good chance the next owner will appreciate the hard work put into those stitches! Just try to think of it that way. And never give her a gift like that again, because she won't appreciate it. I'm sure it was lovely though!

Or it's possible that the mom didn't like the quilt and didn't want to hurt her child's feelings by admitting that

some people just deserve nothing

yes I found this upseted but aleast she didn't just throw it away

Next time you make something for her, donate it right away (lol). Then tell her, "I'm one step ahead of you and have donated it for you already!" Anyway, sorry to hear that, OP! Hopefully she donated it to someone in need. But, still :(

Ya can't win em all

Very disrespectful of her, however it was a gift, which means that is it given with no strings attached. Sorry you wasted your time on her.
