I love having finished items at my home. They come in so handy when you need a gift for someone in a hurry. I gifted a lap quilt for a wedding gift to a niece, that I had made up for a while. It just makes life easier to be ready. You look very prepared to me. One does not always have time to just whip something up on short notice, I just don't do well with deadlines. It takes to fun out of my hobbies.
