I like to give them away to charitable enterprises...shelters, hospitals etc. But I am mindful that one of my great aunts was very kind when she heard I was taking up quilting in my early 20's...she took me aside, showed me a box of quilts she'd made and invited me to choose one. I was so pleased! And my mom nearly fainted as my great aunt was notoriously parsimonious.
I still have that quilt, which I also took to hospital with me for the births of my three children. In those days, on those budgets, my GA and her friends quilted with old garments and bargain fabrics, so the quilt I have is thick but soft polyester something...suitable for a light jacket I would think.
Which is all by way of saying...keep a few to give to special someones.
