Default How to know when to quit giving "quilty" items to friends and family?

I've seen posts where someone asks "what else can I make to give to ____?"

"I've already made her three quilts,, eight table runners, 20 potholders, three totes, 8 pairs of pillowcases, 10 bowl hot pads, 10 potato bags, etc."

"Can you help me think of something else I can make her??

Much as some of us dislike admitting it - not everyone wants something handmade - or they really do have lots and lots and lots of whatever -

Are we really doing someone a favor when they have suggested "enough already" - and we insist on making and giving them some more "stuff"?

I've seen lovely (and some not so lovely) new or newish knitted afghans at yard sales - priced for something like $3.00. Do we really want our loving efforts to end up in a yard sale?
