They have spent the last five years in my closet because I already had several blankets and they really aren't "my style." I'm trying to decide whether to keep these blankets or donate them to someone who needs them, perhaps Project Linus.
So my question to you is, if you made a quilt for someone and they didn't use it, would you rather that they found someone who would or would you rather than they hung on to it?
I guess I come from a different angle, I don't get not using the quilt and blanket, even if they are not your style or colors quilts can be on beds under coverlets or comforters. They can be used when we have company and need more bedding or tossed in the car when you head to the drive in or a picnic in the park. afghans well I have several most of them not in my colors they are folded up and available for snuggling with when watching tv. Unless I absolutly did not have the room I would keep it and try to find a way to use it then possibly gift it it one of my children, or other family member that would cherish it. I would really hate to see you give it away and regret it later.
