I made a small flannel rag quilt for a pregnant co-worker who stated she would hang it on the wall. I was disappointed. Her child is almost 2 yrs old now and she told me the other day that her "baby" loves the quilt and drags it all over the house. I am happy.
I was very happy when my granddaughter took her "French Rose" quilt to summer camp.
I will NOT make a quilt for someone I don't know (the exception being community service) or someone who will not appreciate it.
There is far too much work, blood, sweat and tears (not to mention money) into the construction of a quilt for it to go to an "undeserving" person!
