I was making a few quilts for folks in the family that I do not buy presents for...my husband encourages me to make the quilts but he said...if you start giving them as Christmas gifts they will feel they need to give you a gift and 2. they may expect a gift every year...Good point...so instead I am giving them out as I make them...; ) For my Kids and there spouses and their future children they will continue to get them since they will always get Christmas gifts..I also like the idea of one woman here that has a box of future gifts for here future grandchildren...when they get to a certain age they get different quilts/hand made gifts...so they will always remember her and that she had them on her mind with love...Great idea....
