Like most of you, I gift most of my quilts to family. I would prefer to gift quilts to those who understand the time and money that's been invested, not just some mass-produced blanket. There are plenty of those available on the market for a lot less than what we spend on a quilt. I prefer to donate to a place like a cancer center, veterans or nursing home location, Quilts of Valor or a children's hospital/neonatal center. I still fondly remember my son's comment that when he went into the NICU to greet their newly delivered preemie that there was a quilt over the top of his Isolette and he thought I had made it! They got to bring that home with them when the baby was dismissed from the hospital.
