Yes, I've had a few of those - usually for good friends and always for the grandkids! I was smarter than I thought, though, with the grandkids' quilts (home from the hospital, 1st birthday quilts, other quilts, pillowcases). I saved at least a fat quarter from each project, and am finally making a Grandmommy's quilt - which is the same pattern as their 1st Birthday Quilt ("Fat Quarter Fun" by House of Quilts 1998) but using all the fabrics in their quilts. That way I have all the grandkids with me when I snuggle up into it. THAT makes up for the sad withdrawal I had finishing them, despite the happy-happy occasions and just-for-fun times making them.
