I don't generally make quilts with a particular person in mind, so I donate several quilts a year to various charities, the hospital, and tragedies as they occur (flood, fire, etc.). I have an etsy shop and also sell some things at the local florist/gift shop. But there are quilts that I cherish for one reason or another, and I hang onto those. I put them on beds in the house, rotating them once in a while. This summer I ran out of storage space, so I started giving away carefully selected quilts to family members who I thought would cherish them. They were thrilled. I always figure a good use for one of my quilts will come up eventually.
