I too like to just make a quilt without a particular person in mind. In fact I hand pieced and quilted the triangles that make the swirls on the quilt show opening. Thought I would made it wider but got tired of doing so many black triangles. Finished it off and DH asked who is it for? I said me. Too narrow for my anatomy so I told him to save it for my casket and not buy flowers. He thought I was crazy but I'm serious. Pieces of fabric give me piece of mind.
