I have found myself in these type of situations all ready and I have only been quilting less than two years!!!
I offered to make dgd a throw for her bed when they redecorated her bedroom, mom decided I should make the quilt a bedspread. Thought I'd make my niece a blue jean throw for HS graduation and something to take to college, DB decided I should make a quilt for her dorm bed...Made a couple of donations quilts for Quilts for Kids, DIL asked me to make a donation quilt for a extended family member on the other side(7 yr. old with CF) But they would like to give it to her on her bday in Aug...(can we say freebie bday present...) I did eventually tell her "No" as I would be there to present it and to get a picture of her and her quilt for my photo album, she was not to happy about that, but she had no real argument. URGGG!!! It almost pays to be a "closet" quilter...
Sad truths are...the blue jean quilt has been put aside as it was too heavy(as warned), donation quilt to Family member may end up as dog blanket or to cover the lawn mower.
Anyway, we love what we do..
