I have been quilting about 5 or so years now and have made about 65 quilts. I give them away. I give many to the abused women's shelter, single mothers for themselves and their child and baby showers at church. When someone I know is married I give one on their first anniversary. I am keeping 13 for myself (only 1 at present) and giving the rest away. I feel it is my way to give back to the community.
