Quilts for your local hospice. Some people have no or little support or loved ones around them during this hard time and a quilt can bring a gift of more then the quilt itself.

Any occasion that calls for a gift now gets a quilted something. I still haven't made anything for my own bed except the very first quilt I ever made - I made a list on my blog and I have I think 14 quilts to make for this year and that doesn't include the unexpected :) Psst - I did my charity quilts for the year first so I can guilt-free concentrate on the others.

I make a quilt for anyone I know who has cancer....just to show a little love and concern.

Every year I donate 3 quilts 60" x 70" to a shelter for battered women. If they are in the home for Christmas, they get a quilt. My group also make wheelchair quilts for veterans, baby quilts for a home for destitute pregnant girls, quilts for Quilts of Valor (for injured soldiers) or Victoria's quilts (for cancer patients). We also make cuddle quilts for premature babies at our hospitals. They are 22" x 22" and they cover the incubators and parents can hold their babies in them. Those quilts are theirs to keep. Also, we make quilts for children who are going through dialysis and cancer treatments. I have made quilts for my eldest daughter. My second daughter does not want quilts. I am now making one for my third daughter. My fourth daughter wants a queen size rag quilt. She chose flannel that I had but I don't have enough so I am on the look out for something similar. I still don't have one quilt of mine but I have bought a kit called the Painted Lady and that is what I will be making for myself soon. By the way, I am now retired and spend many happy hours quilting.

I've been quilting for 3yrs also and have made one for everyone in my family. They all want more quilts so that's not going to be a problem for me. My 4yr old grandson got the first one for his 2nd BD. Last fall he asked me to make him another quilt with farm animals, John Deere tractors and some orange because that's his favorite color. So I made one for him for Christmas and used orange fleece for the back. I'll have to find a picture of it and post it.
I am also finally making one for myself. And I've made some quilts for raffles and QOVs.

I, too, have absolutely no family to make quilts for so it was inspiring to read all of your suggestions as to who to make a quilt for.I am always a little envious hearing about the quilters with dozens of grandchildren and even great grandchildren but unfortunately, don't have either. I do make a lot of quilts for charity mainly Quilts for Kids because it is really a lot of fun to use the bright colors and challenging to use scraps without buying much new fabric.

Project Linus. I live close to Ft. Bragg and we supply quilts to the children of injured or fallen soldiers. There is such a great need, since this fighting has gone on so long We also supply quilts/blankets to newborns and children in the hospital at Ft. Bragg. We would so love to have your contributions. If you are interested, please PM me and I will give you further details.
Thanks,

You can give them to me! LOL My daughter has close friends, I would do them for her friends birthdays etc. Teacher's appreciation week is around the corner for her school, I would give to her teachers. I agree with other posts charities are always great!

Well, all of these suggestions are great especially the charities, but I was being selfish and thinking you could make me one! LOL
