Please don't let anyone steal your joy. I would suggest you make as many quilts as your heart desires regardless if close family members don't appreciate them. You don't have to feel obligated to pass them on to family members. As stated in the above posts there are many, many people & organizations who would love to receive your gifts of love. Not only do I love quilting but also small quilty/sewing stuff like walker totes, koozies for water bottles, small bags for your purse, pillow cases, etc, etc, etc. I say to continue doing what makes you happy. In this world today with so much doom & gloom it's sometimes hard to find happiness & peace. We all need an outlet ... something that we can do that takes us to a happy place.
