There have already been so many answers to this, I hesitate to chime in. However, I'm a fairly new quilter and also someone who tends to "put things away for a special time". However, the quilts I've made are on the bed, on the couch, on the floor in front of the TV and under the cat. And nothing makes me happier than when my kids and grandkids come home and start requesting a quilt "just like this one", which they have wrapped around themselves. Or when they argue about who should get the next one. I know that those quilts, no matter how imperfect, will always remind them of home.
