Hi and Welcome from North Carolina! I make baby and children's quilts now to give to Crisis Pregnancy Centers. In the past I have made 10 or 12 full size ones; 2 for me, 4 or 5 for my daughter, one for my son and the rest for gifts. I made a bunch of lap size ones, a few for my daughter and the rest for various gifts. None of my quilts would ever see a quilt show or a wall! They are simply utilitarian; to be used hard and much, until they are thread-worn!
I love them and I love to quilt them! I'm addicted to fabric and have far more than I'll ever be able to use, but I have a very hard time passing any on. A hoarder, maybe, but I've taken a pledge not to buy another inch and I haven't since 12/30/17.
Welcome to your new quilting experience. You've come to a great place for encouragement and help.
