I agree...start bec I like the pattern or the "look" but by the time it's finishing up, I know......
|
I start a quilt because it is a pattern that I want to try. Then depending on the colors, I give it to someone that I feel I want to give it to. IE, I made one specific for my mom, brother and niece. The other two just happened to go to people who I knew would like the patterns!

At this point in my life I know where the quilts I am making are going and for whom. I can't wait to get started on my son's quilt. i made him a small one when I was first starting out but now I want to make him one with circles and all in blues and whites. Have to finish 2 other ones first though.
|
I make what ever strikes my fancy at that time, I have never had a quilt wait to find a home. my trouble is trying to keep some for my self, so I just make quilts in colors I love and patterns I enjoy making. Then try to hang on to some for my beds LOL
|
I do it both ways. If I see something I really like, it goes on my list of quilts to make. If I see something I think someone else will like, it goes to the top of the list. I love making the perfect quilt for a particular person.

Right now I am making ones for gifts but want to do something for myself once the holidays are over. There are several small projects I want, table toppers, pillowcases and pillows.

After a few baby quilts I am now working on quilts for my family,which will take a lot of months. When I get everyone sorted I want to sew for the local children's hospice and maybe hospital too if they allow. The quilts can be smaller and I think I will be more experienced so I hope the children will be happy with them.
