When I realized I was "pumping them out" too fast, and knew I was going to have "too many" ... I upped my style. I don't have kids, thus no grands, and no need for gifting them to the extended family. Yes, I give to charities, my favourite being the local Hospice Home.
So to slow down the mass production ... I went for more intricate work, that was going to be more of a challenge and/or take more time to do. Plus, I started to learn how to do the actual quilting. Both have helped reduced the quantity, and sure have improved the quality. And yes, I still toss in some easy-peasy ones too!
It's been more than worthwhile ... and I love the improved results!
