I have always given my quilts as gifts or donated to my charity of choice ( the last few years it has been The American Veteran Project.. sewing/quilting for Veterans)
I do own 1 of my quilts now... but only because I MARRIED the man I gave the quilt to over 15 years ago...( guess he could have been in trouble if he didn't keep the quilt!.... naaaa>) We've been married almost 3 yrs now!! WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!
He is retired Navy ( GO NAVY!!) and so it was a patriotic themed.....
