After reading these posts, perhaps put a price tag on the quilts you plan to "give away". IF the person who requests a quilt from you, show them your offerings and sell the quilt to them. No hard feelings and they will be invested in your wowrk, that way if you get your $$'s worth out of the quilt. ok, Im kidding..kind of. no, I don't make quilts for anyone. I make small purses and gifty things once in a while. Then I am not worried about what happens to the item. I did not put a lot of time or $$ in the item..sandy
