You don't stop making them quilts, you just save them for when they move out of the house and are on their own. Make sure your will specifies who gets what so there is no fighting if you depart a bit early. I like the thought of leaving something that people will appreciate when I am gone.
I decided my daughters get a quilt on their 12th birthday and I have no fear of them losing, selling, or misusing the quilts I make them. They know what goes into a quilt, they watch their dad make them. As for others I make? Well, there aren't that many that leave the family, and will never be unless they are for charity. Those, you let go into the wind and hope someone appreciates them for a minute, an hour, a day, or the rest of their lives.
