I've found that kids need 3 quilts over the years, (1) baby, (2) big girl/boy quilt for a bed, and (3) one for H.S. and/or college (they have to help with this one). Besides that, there are extended family who have experienced something awful, or ones who have been extra sweet to us, and to make them a quilt is delightful. The head-of-school who left last year and is one incredible lady who nurtured a couple of our G-kids. Raffles and auctions for schools, churches, etc. This may be your time to try out new and challenging designs and give it to someone you think might like it, or give it to a woman's shelter.

I have a friend who makes seasonal and holiday quilts and her house looks entirely different each time I go. She loves celebrating the "now"! Maybe you would, also. There is also the Linus quilts for children in hospital.
