Mostly, I make a particular quilt because I like it instead of
making it for a particular person or occasion.
I like something different & ususal.

I belong to two Guilds and we have several projects.....Baby quilts for needy babies at the local hospital, Community quilts for people who have serious injury or health issues and Disabled Vets at the Annual Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic held each year at Snowmass Ski Resort. If there are any left I have nine Grands and three daughters with spouses. I keep a few for gifts.

Allllll Mine Mine Mine! (laugh) Of course, I just started quilting hehehe

I've not made many so I am making them now for my children. I have 5 so I have plenty to do! :lol:

I started quilting in earnest when I retired last year. Now I am on a mission to gift my immediate family with quilts from me. Then, of course, there are the wedding quilts for youngsters getting married and baby quilts for keeping those new babies warm, LOL. In two years I have not managed to make 1 for me until now. I have one on the table now that I will finally keep for me. It's a bed size. I also want a sofa throw for me. Next year I will be selfish and sew for me, LOL.

most of my quilts are made for our local oncology infusion center, there is always a need somewhere including baby quilts for Life's Choices, Our Military & nursing homes. I don't make huge quilts like I did for my family.

I make them because I enjoy making them. The kids all have several and I have them in a closet. I don't need to have someone in mind. Sometimes, just the relaxation and fun I have making them is all I need to start another one.

Sometimes I start making them just 'cuz' I want to but usually get gifted to my 3 dd and 5 grand kids, keep some for myself. I don't have enough yet, I like to use them to decorate my long banisters seasonally.

eventually I'll make them for donations.

I make quilts for me!! Ok -- I use them in demonstrations and lectures (trunk shows) Usually show around 60 - 70 pieces at each trunk show. Some mini's some wall, some throw, some full size.
Always have a quilt to donate to a fund raiser without having to hurry up and make one. That way the trunk show changes each year as I give them away. Of course family always is in line for a new quilt too. Some I just love to look at and "stroke". Beds all have quilts, quilts hang in every room too.
