When I finished my first quilt (it was a nap throw size) my husband asked me what I was going to do with it. I could tell he was asking out of more than curiosity. When I asked if he would like to have it I got this great big grin and a nodding head. So he got it. That was perfect because the fabrics I chose reflected our love of the sea and our boating years. In fact, it is the one I use for my avatar. The second quilt I just finished. It is a full size bed quilt for my son and daughter in law for their first anniversary. The third one is in the frames and I just started quilting it. Since I hand quilt and work full time, it takes me a while to complete one. This one was a project from a quilt piecing class I took. I really like it, but haven't decided what to do with it yet. It is kind of masculine, so may give to my younger son. I am starting to piece a spool quilt for my youngest grand daughter. So that will make four when complete. After all the family is taken care of and maybe one for me, I will look to quilting for charity. It is wonderful how many of you do so many for charity, and I suppose most are machine quilted which would probably go faster than my hand quilting. Also perhaps you are gifted with more time than I have right now. Either way, I think it is very thoughtful.
