I've never really thought of what happens to a quilt after I gift it. Although sometimes I get pictures sent to me with it in them. That's nice.
I guess I just hope that someone will be kept warmed by or will use each quilt. I don't care who...sometimes a quilt may take a journey along it's life, but as long as it serves a purpose, I'm happy with that. One of the first 2 quilts I made (for my 2 DD's) was kept in my trunk for over a year. She moved a few times and had to downsize. DH, DS and I used that quilt to sit on when we had ice cream way out in the boonies, used it to help pack things safely for transportation, to keep extra warm in the car... Until DD saw it again and took it out of my trunk reclaiming it for herself once again. I'm alright with whatever path the quilts I've made will take, as long as they're being used.
