I didn't actually make the first baby quilts with the thought in mind of they would be used by the recipients because their Mom's also made many hand crafts for gifts. I just felt they would appreciate them. They did the children grew up with them, took them on visits to relatives, etc. I do know that as these same children have grown and married I have felt a bit of hesitation about making them quilted gifts because I don't think the wives are the type to appreciate such things. They tend to like "store bought" mass produced items. Now I turn my sights on children and the less fortunate who as sick or recovering to gift my quilts to.
