Personally, I have to do it... something in me just always wants to be working on something. I also like to give the quilts as gifts. I think when I give someone a quilt that I made myself it shows how much I care and really wanted to give them a special gift. I also have this thought in my head of the quilts that I have made for my great nieces and nephew.. of them someday being grown up and saying "My great aunt made this quilt for me.." I may be gone but part of me will still be with them.
