When most of you make quilts, do you make them specifically for someone, or just because you like them? And then what do you do with them? I have so many I want to make, but no one in mind to make them for.

I rarely have anyone specific in mind when I start a quilt, but by the time I am done with it , I usually know exactly who is the intented recpient.

I have made patterns that I thought would be fun, and given them as charity quilts. Others are made with a specific recipient in mind. :D:D:D

Well, I've only just started quilting, and so far, each one has had a recipient in mind before starting. I have plans for several more, all with a recipient in mind. After all those are done and all parents/siblings/grand parents/closest friends get theirs...then I'll start making them for the sake of making them. LOL

I have made a few specifically for my GD's and one for my FIL....
Mostly I just enjoy sewing....needless to say I have many quilts for sale.

i normally make them with someone in mind of getting them.
i have one that i have made with no one in mind.

I make the ones I like and eventually someone will ask for them. Am always making new ones for grands as they grow older.

DITTO!!

If you make it, a need will arise. I make most quilts because I want to and some for special people. But I have found that there is always someone who could use a quilt (newly wed for the 2nd time, birthday, new Great Grandson, etc.) so it is always nice to have some on hand. Also, I give items to schools and fundraisers. Our neighborhood has a garage sale once a year, and I always manage to sell a half dozen or so. So don't worry about having extra quilts hanging around. They surely won't be there for long!

I have quilts scattered throughout my house & a closet full. I even forget some that are put away if I don't go through them occassionally.
