Usually I make them for someone else to use. Or a wall hanging, or for me. I too feel my quilts not good enough to be put into shows.

The quilt that I made for my new Grandson being adopted from Ethiopia was the most useful and favorite one I have made. It contained pictures of all his new family members, who he got to know on his way to his new home, as well to cuddle in to on the long plane ride. We also used it to help him learn English. Probably not the most beautiful, but probably the most functional one I've ever made. Mary

This is exactly the kind of info I treasure .... I hope one day to overcome the ability to make hard work out of that which should bring pleasure :roll:

My quilts are made to be used; some by DH and I; many are given away. And some are for decoration. Quilting for me is "happy time." I can just zone out.

I quilt for two reasons.......#1 for the love of creating something beautiful and #2 for the joy it brings me to give one to someone special. I make many comfort quilts for cancer patients and for others in need of a warm hug :)
