My first 7 quilts were for neices and nephews. In my guild's quilt show next month, I will have 22 quilts. One is a wedding quilt for my granddaughter (currently 11). 6 are gifts for other family members. 4 are to be auctioned. 2 are gifts to non family members. The others are intended for a local charity. I don't usualy do my charity quilts until after Labor Day. In all, I think about half of my quilts go for kids in out-of-home placement. My DH and I are not shy about keeping what we want, but we have very limited space. I try to have one or 2 always on hand since one never knows when a gift of a quilt will be important. I only had one when my brother was suddenly diagnosed with very rapid terminal cancer, but that one seemed to ease his mind. I have given several quilts for fund raisers. I can do more for a local charity that way than with a $ gift.
