Folks I don't care for get a gift card to Target or some similar place.
When I make quilts, they are part of me, and I don't give them to just anybody. Maybe that's mean, but just because I am a quilter doesn't mean everyone is going to get a quilt!!
If you have to make a quilt, my advice is to make it the best you can as others will see it and ask who did it. Always do work you'll be proud of seeing again.
