I don't give mine away other than to my children and grandchildren. I offered to make one for a dear friend once and he said No thanks, I don't like them. I keep them on the spare bed, at least I know when I have company they're warm. I just tell them to peel back what they don't need to the bottom of the bed. Easy to look at when I want to. Most of mine get spoken for. And there is always the needy (humans) and pet shelters (animals need warmth and love too).

Our thursday quilt group made quilts and donated 15 of them for the womans shelter. They were so appreciative and we know the need was met. Do you have a non-profit that would llike to raffle a quilt off. I and another quilter did this and earned 2500.00 for the non-profit. To me there is always a non profit group that needs help.

Just keep on quilting.... Make them and you'll be surprised how often you can use one as a gift. Believe it or not your family will continue to grow, friends will have children, grandchildren and there are many charities that can use them. And I like to have quilts just as throws on my beds, in the living room and all around the house. My sister keeps about 4 or 5 on her sofa and a couple on the chairs. Just put them all around and you might be surprised how quickly some of the family or friends would love to have another of your creations.

I've made baby quilts for my grandchildren, lap quilts for my two daughters, plan to make lap quilts for my three sisters, I would like to try a queen size quilt for my bed. Then what?? I love doing this but I'm just wondering what to do with all the quilts I want to make

I have wondered about this too. I still have a lot that are done and folded nicely in my stuido.

If you find out someone is ill or has had a serious operation take them a quilt. You will be surprised how grateful some people will be.
