I have made 1 for each of my 2 grand kids. Plan to make another for my oldest son out of his t-shirts he had from college. All the others go to Rainbows baby and children's hospital (university Hospital of Cleveland). They are 40x40 ones that are given to the patients that don't have long to live. The nurses help them write thngs on them so a few of the squares are made with lt solid color fabric. The patient uses it till they pass. Than the quilt of course is given to the family they leave behind.

This gives me pleasure to do the craft I love and also it helps a family get thru a rough time. how rewarding is that. including a couple pictures of a memory quilts I have made

Same here. Just small wall hangings for me. Lots of nice sized quilts for all the kids and grandkids.
But I have sworn to myself that the next big one is MINE! 8-)

I have given all of my quilts away. I make lap quilts for friends when they have major birthdays--those ending in a "0"--and baby quilts for young friends and now "old" friend's grandkids. Now I am starting to make charity quilts. I love making the quilts, and equally love giving them away.

I, so far have given my quilts as gifts and I still have many to make and have a waiting list for my family. I have, however, cut one for myself. Now, when I can get to it is another matter.

I give most of them as gifts for friends and family. I started one for myself awhile back, but never finished it. I need the deadline of a gift giving situation.

I make my quilts for family. Maybe once I have made quilts for all family members I will start on quilts for friends.
