I'm a new quilter and I started this quilt for my 1 year old nephew. He's the only one of his generation so far so I love buying him gifts. This would have been the first thing I ever made him.
However... I find myself thinking about keeping it! I picked out the colors because I know his parents don't like "baby" baby thing so it's a quilt of browns, greens, and blues. I love the fabrics and the quilt isn't neccessarily a baby quilt! I feel guilty. But then I try to tell myself I could always make him another quilt. So I'm very torn. Does this ever happen to you? |
All the time!
|
Haha do you usually keep them or give them to their intended recipients?
|
It's probably about 50/50. I just hate it when I don't want to part with one I made for someone else!
|
I do give it to the one I have made it for, but it is hard to do.
|
Consider it a practice quilt and keep it. But then follow through and make him a different one!
|
I always give to the person it's intended for. That doesn't mean that secretly I'm wanting to keep it. Have had that happen many times!
|
this has happened to me. but I did give it away. Figured I cold always make another one for me.

I think that's a good sign that it's a lovely quilt, and he should get it. And make YOURSELF another one. He doesn't get the seconds. ;)
