there are literally thousands (millions?) of people out there who would not only LOVE one of your quilts but be very very appreciative and grateful! there is nothing selfish about quilting!
local hospitals, fire departments, police, red cross, womens resource center, family court, local charities all love to receive and give quilts to people who need them. the local branch of the cancer society; the library, swim school, YMCA, the list just goes on and on, and all would LOVE what ever you are willing to share. and the recipients? well, they are blown away by the beautiful quilts, and wonder how anyone could possibly part with such a treasure, when for us...it's nothing special...it is for them! contact local churches, or other agencies to give them away. I donate 2 quilts every year to a local pre-school that raffles them off to help pay for extra activities, field trips. i give quilts to the local red cross and the fire department, they are given to families who loose everything in a house fire. I give quilts to the womens' resource center, they are given to kids/families who due to unfortunate circumstances are 'starting-over' with nothing. and not to be mean but...i think your daughter is the selfish one.
