Good thing we do this for the love of quilting, and not to make others happy. I really like my idea of only making quilts for those I want to not because someone is having a baby and I made one for someone else. There were a couple of babies born last year on post. I made one for 1 of them and not for the other. ( I do not give them out at showers but 1 on 1 later on, so the other person does not even know I made a quilt. ) This year there are 4 babies being born within a couple of months. I am making 1 baby quilt. It takes me to long (I probably would make them all one). Happy quilting everyone. May we each find joy in what we do not in the end result. And for those out there that feel like you have to make one for everyone, just say no. Think of yourself as an acclaimed artist, artist don't make works of arts for there friends and family members for Christmas and birthday's and special occasions. I am going to consider my quilts grand work of art and be picky on who gets one.
