Quilt for many reasons, it's a gift, because it has to be made and it's my relaxation (most of the time).

Mainly I quilt to make something unique and special for ones I love and want them to have something coming from my heart~not just something store bought...

Does there have to be a purpose?

I quilt just because I quilt.

I just like to make em. If they turn out nice and someone likes them, they may end up given away. Sometimes I make one with a particular person in mind and use it as a gift.

I make quilts for pleasure and often donate them. My kids already have ones I've made and they are used daily

Beats going to therapy. I don't know if it's cheaper or not but it feels good. I like to go to my quilt room and play. Whether it's actually sewing, rearranging,I find if I rearrange my fabrics from time to time it's like a visit and I find things I forgot I had and wow, this goes with that and before you know it I have a quilt. Cutting up scraps, now that can really be fun. I just need a good storage system for that. And looking at patterns brings a whole new world of creativity and just getting away from it all. My small little world of peace and creativity. katie

Quilting's main function is to hold the layers together. Hopefully, you enjoy the process while you do it.

My hope is for daily use. I make them out of love and feel a peice of my heart goes with the quilt and when used I am thought of (?)
