Is there something wrong?
#31
I feel so blessed. My hubby is always telling me he hopes the quilts I make are for us. He knows that someday the kids and grandkids will have them, but until then, he wants to keep them! I make quilts because I like the fabric or the pattern. Sometimes they tell me they want to go live with someone else, but most of the time they like where they are living.

I don't have a lot of space to store quilts. It seems that he thinks that I need to give away a quilt as soon as it's done or have a time limit when it will go. Is it selfish to just want to make them? Do they always have to go? Thanks for your replies. BrendaK

As a matter of fact, most of my quilts are "just because" quilts...just because I wanted to try the technique or pattern, just because I wanted to use a certain fabric, or even just because I felt moved. I seldom plan the size...when I get tired of the technique or fabric I call it a wrap, even though it may only be a table runner. And if I make a quilt for someone I never, ever, ask them to pick out the fabrics or pattern. I may or may not ask for their general color preference. The good news is, even with my somewhat casual approach, I have never had someone
turn down one of my quilts. Luck is a good thing.
