When you said attached to your quilts , I thought you meant sewn yourself into a seam as you are sewing. It gave me a laugh.
i love all my quilts and find it difficult to give away. I wonder if that is why some of us find the sandwiching and quilting a stage we put off. Once finished we can gift them.

The only reason I feel a twinge at giving time, is because I worry they are not good enough. Not really because I am emotionally attached. Generally I like to make and give. Although I am a big collector of a lot of 'stuff'.

Part of my quilt finishing process is to wash the quilt and then snuggle with it for a bit when it's warm from the dryer before I fold it all up. That helps me feel like I can let go of the quilt, and I also get to say cutesy things to the recipient like "pre-washed and filled with hugs".
I have a few quilts I made specifically for myself that I'd have a hard time letting go of. The rest I usually make with a specific recipient in mind, and my eagerness to give them the quilt overrides any reluctance to part with it.
