I used to give a quilt at every wedding we went to as a gift, but I have stopped that now. Now we just give cash. That seems to be what people want now.
Plus, I, like tlrnhi, have had fairly negative reactions to some of the quilts I have given as gifts. Twice when I gave them as wedding gifts, I neither recieved a thank you card OR any sort of verbal thanks or acknowledgement. So I don't have any idea what happened, to those quilts.
On the other hand, one person actually cried when she opened one, so that reaction was extremely gratifying.
One that I gave as a wedding gift- a queen size split rail fence- they had on their bed the first time we came over after the wedding, so I thought they liked it. Then not even a couple of years later their dog had puppies and they sent out pictures. THE DOG HAD THE PUPPIES ON THE QUILT FROM ME!! Not on the bed, either, like in it's corner. I can't imagine it wore out in less than 2 years, but maybe it ripped. It did sort of rankle a bit, but on the other hand, after I gave it to them, it was theirs to do with as they pleased. (I won't be giving them anymore, though, that's for sure!)
So the quilts I am making now I plan to keep. I do still make a baby quilts for all the babies in the family and also for our friends' babies if I have time.
I don't hang my quilts as they are usually pretty big. I have a couple on our bed- we have a king size bed and we each have a quilt for our own half. That way I don't wake up the hubby with my restless sleeping.
I have a glass fronted bookshelf in our living room where I keep the nicest ones and on a rare occasion we cuddle under them on the couch. I also have some "users" in there, too, that we can use even if we're eating popcorn or something. The "users" are the ones we take on picnics, etc, too. They are tied and basically just utilitarian. I would like to make us some prettier "users" and machine quilt them. I will use vintage sheets and stuff for those ones.
My boys' bed quilts were made by my mom a couple of years ago for Christmas. (Lots of quilts at our house.)
