    I have a bunch I made just because I wanted to. They have all been claimed. There are just two that are just mine. The rest have been requested. My youngest daughter is always bringing home fabric and the pattern for quilts she wants. She keeps me busy.

    I give away almost all my quilts. Either to family, friends, or charities. I think I only have one quilt that I've made, although I have several that my mother made. I love making quilts with someone special in mind, but I get such a blessing from making charity quilts that I manage to keep myself pretty busy.

    Mine so far has just been made for my own personal family
    members and myself, but I would make them even if I had
    no one in mind to give it to :D

    I have made some especially for one person, as a present or as an order. In general I don't do quilts for use but for exhibitions and shows or for my workshops.

    I have my quilts piled high on an unused single bed. I make quilts with no-one in mind and occasionally donate a quilt to charity or to be raffled.

    I keep telling myself I must either sell some of them or give more away to charities but just can't make myself part with them just yet. Of course there are some I will never part with, they are way too precious to me.

    Been doing for Meals on Wheels -- Project Moses -Project Linus and now Quilts for Kids. Almost forgot, Quilts for Cruisers (police cars). My daughter just asked for a baby quilt for a friends shower. Always have something on hand. I made some quilts with the cancer ribbon to donate but ending up giving them to my sister and sister-in-laws for their use. My grandson likes to picnic in front of the TV with a small table top size. He out grew the first and it is now in the car on the seat under his car seat. I pick up the material where ever I can and sometimes people just give me some. I always find room for it. Even stuffed a bean bag type foot rest with fleece and flannel till I need it. Great place for grandchild to fall asleep.
