Some are made as gifts for specific occasions - weddings, births, etc. -- some are made for our kids to help warm up their homes - some for grandkids to snuggle under - and some just because they must be made!! And if my husband questions anything about my quilting, I simply open the door between my sewing studio and his gun room and start counting guns. He usually quiets down pretty fast. I also find that he likes to have one made just for him once in a while.
