I'm with the others. I don't usually start with a recipient in mind, but sometimes I do, then at the end know of someone who would like it. But I have way too many UFO's. Hope nobody is hanging waiting! lol

Sometimes a pattern or color will just come to me and I make a quilt. I don't usually have anyone in mind, but God does! LOL I have given so many quilts away and am always glad to give.

I usually make quilts with someone in mind. I have 3 requests for queen size at the moment. I only give them to people that I know will take care of them. Who knows one day I may make one for myself !!!!

I am still at the 'for me' stage. I wanted one each for my family and living rooms. next will be one for each of my sons after that I dont have a clue !! Any I will make to give away will go to someone that will take care of them, they are $$ to make.

What I like about quilts is putting the personally into the quilt...I pick a person or house whole...and think of there hobbies/ likes...than I buy the fabric...I was buying fabric when I saw great sales...mistake...I end up having a ton of fabric...I have grown boys so for me...I have to think likes/hobbies....I have made some quilts for Christmas and I really hope they let me know if they like them...not just of that is nice...we all put so much time and love into making quilts. I sometimes wonder if people know that. I did not prior to making them.

Everything I have made so far I have made with someone in mind (except I kept one table topper lol). I do have lots of projects on my to-do list with no one in mind. Guess they will be mine once I finish them.
