I continue to quilt no matter what -- I do give away my quilts to family and I keep a lot myself. It doesn't matter what I end up doing with them -- piecing and quilting is soothing to me. It keeps me busy and I feel productive when I finish a piece. I like to try new techniques and experiment with color combinations. And I will probably never use up all my stash but that is ok!! One can always just buy fabric for a specific quilt if you don't want to have a stash.
