I donate 95% of mine to McDonald House in Morgantown. Also send some to the local hospitals.

I stack them in closets.

I like Tartan's ideas. Years ago my mom told me about an old woman she knew who had a bed piled high with quilts. She would show them to visitors, folding back one at a time. I guess she either sold or gave them away. I have a trunk I keep some in, hang some, use some on beds. When my daughters visited from out west last month, one of them took a couple to use for kids in her preschool special needs class. She'd like more that kids can use for naps and such, so when current projects are done, I'll make some cute kid ones for her. Also gave some to a niece who works in children's hospital. She gave them to kids in great need of cheering up.

I absolutely LOVE that idea! The elderly get cold so easily, and so many of them are the "forgotten ones". I will definitely start doing that!

I do what "Peckish" does cause my kids have more than enough but last year at Christmas I gave each of my married kids (4) a quilt an told them to give it away to some one who could use it. They were happy to do that. This year i really don;t know what I will do but I am going to a craft fair an just maybe I can sell some of them there. Don't expect I will make a profit but if I at least get the cost of the materials in it back that will be fine with me.

I keep/display, gift, or donate. Though I don't keep many.

So far all that I've finished and about half that I haven't have designated recipients. I recently sent a box full of UFO tops and some supplies to someone in Oklahoma whose guild was finishing them and giving them to folks in the tornado devastation area. By the time I finish one completely it usually has a recipient.

When I realized I was "pumping them out" too fast, and knew I was going to have "too many" ... I upped my style. I don't have kids, thus no grands, and no need for gifting them to the extended family. Yes, I give to charities, my favourite being the local Hospice Home.

So to slow down the mass production ... I went for more intricate work, that was going to be more of a challenge and/or take more time to do. Plus, I started to learn how to do the actual quilting. Both have helped reduced the quantity, and sure have improved the quality. And yes, I still toss in some easy-peasy ones too!

It's been more than worthwhile ... and I love the improved results!
