Maybe I am more selfish than you. I very seldom give quilts away. But, when I do the person knows they are special. I love the whole process. I love picking a pattern or taking a class, picking out the fabrics, cutting sewing and quilting. I put so much love into my quilts and a lot of time and money, too. I just love to keep them. I don't have a very big house and don't use them much for decorating. I keep them in a chest and love to take them out and look at them. I do have two quilt hangers and change the quilts on them. I do make quilts for charity and QOV and for gifts, but I know ahead of time that they will be going away. But, I just love my quilts.
