Do we really need a reason for making quilts? I don't think so. My first quilt, and the only hand quilted one, went to my daughter who picked out the pattern and the colors, the second was a king-size quilt (expanded from a crib quilt my husband saw in a magazine and liked-just make more blocks, right?), then the left-over black was used for a bright blue and black irish chain for my son. After that - quilts for walls, cribs, beds, charity quilts, table runners, placemats, pot holders, the list goes on and on. Some I sell at craft fairs or for commission quilts- I've made several for others who want a special quilt for a baby or grandchild. The fabric talks to me, it jumps out at me when I am in a fabric store, right into my cart, and I take it home. Some fabric has aged (like fine wine) before it gets used, but quilting is my sanity, otherwise I would be in the "nut house", unable to cope. I don't really need a reason, the quilts always find a home.
