Visit a nursing home and see people with their lap quilts. There are never enough. When they play bingo, they always need gifts for a winner. A lap robe would be greatly appreciated.

If you like baby quilts, inquire if the Premies at your local hospital could use some.

I do sell a great deal of what I make. I also give mine to family..and friends. Seems like when I get started , and by the time I finish someone makes a comment about how much they like it... so off it goes.

Give as gifts to friends and family. Give to charity. Give to auctions for charity/local schools/fundraisers. Rotate them on my beds every couple of months. Hang as decorations and rotate those every few months.

For things i want to keep, I layer some on the spare bed. I have a carpet cardboard roll that I roll some on that stands up in the spare closet. I put smaller things on the plastic hangers with clips and hand them on the spare rooms closet rod.

Most of mine are given away. Wedding gifts, baby gifts, I'm thinking of you gifts, and donations.
I have given away hundreds of quilts.

I give mine to fund raisers and charities. My kids and grandkids already have enough.
