I know exactly where you are coming from - I bond with my quilts. I like to write a story with mine that I give away. Sort of makes me feel good to let someone else know how much it meant to me to make that quilt for them. Which I am in the process of right now and I can't get my printer to work and this book is going to be around 25 pages long. But, we just keep a-plugging along. I don't make a quilt ahead of time ever. If I make it for someone, it takes a while to get everything in order and cut and all that - get my notebook out to write everything down by hand, like the weather, the headlines, etc., it is my provenance for a quilt that I make. Otherwise I'll make the quilt for myself. I just don't make for the sake of making, I have to know where it is going - Funny thing, I never run out of places where the quilt is going. Fun, isn't it?
