I quilt for fun, for gifts, for personal use/utility and most of all for the joy of creating a hopefully beautiful and useful object!

For fun. I have made quilts for pay (the cost of the materials mostly), but I've not put a quilt in a show.

For my own personal pleasure. If it turns out that someone gets one and likes it, all the better, but I enjoy the entire process.

I quilt for fun of course, but usually with a person in mind whom I'm making the quilt for - I have not kept one qult I've made yet, but hope to someday get quilts for my entire family done and then I'll make one for myself; but in the middle of all the quilts for everyone else, I want to make an indian design quilt for my better half; he loves indian designs and animals relating to the indian world - and slowly I've grown a stash for that purpose; I even have the indian chief for part of it... thus, I consider the quilt partially for me too. But, I love flowers, and will probably make a flower garden quilt - in shadow boxes. Black/gray will outline each "window" of flowers. I did one quilt with only black sashing around the flowers and I used 25 different kinds of flowers in that quilt - so one or the other; I have the fabric, just need the time. It's tough living on the farm and still being active in outside life occasionally and keep up with my hobby too. There is always tons of other work that needs tending to in between the work and the "fun".

I quilt for fun. I had to find something to do when I go so I couldn't walk and exercise like I use to. I had to find something that was relaxing and quilting was it. I don't sew on the machine much just do hand quilting.
