Welcome from Indiana!...what do we do with our quilts??....well...when my Grandmother passed I really would have loved to have one of her quilts, but all were left to an aunt, and then to her daughter after that, so I'm trying to give one to any of the young'uns that would like one. I've made one for all my children and grandchildren...and TRY to keep up with the babies as they arrive, but there's a gap when it comes to the great grandchildren. I have one made for all the grand children but they aren't all quilted. I can keep up with the great great grandies, but there are quite a few great grandies that don't have a quilt. Since I don't know who really wants one, and who could care less, my solution is to make what I like and sort of stockpile them...then when I'm gone my daughter can give them out as she sees fit...or as requested. Meanwhile, if I want to make a special one I do. Although I've made many charity quilts I'm not doing that so much any more but I do make throws and wall hangings...as the mood strikes. By the way...forty six years after my Grandmother passed I did receive a set of her quilt blocks that I made into my very first quilt...and that's what got me hooked on quilting!
