Are your quilts for you? Or are they gifts?
#12
I am still a beginner, but so far I have kept mine. They are just too much work to give away. But then, I have no grandkids, my son isn't interested, and my sister makes beautiful quilts that she has spread out to the family members already. Maybe in time I will give away, but for now, I am not.
I really admire those who can give them away.

I have given everyone of mine away so far! I have started one for my spare bedroom, but can't seem to get motivated to finish it when I have so many other projects I'm working on. One of these days.

I have to say I'm half and half with how many quilts I've kept and given.
I've collected vintage baby quilts b/c I love them and hope someday my kids will for their kids. If not I can keep them :D:D

Since I have a larger family, 14 children, I make many quilts for my family but I have probably given away the same amount as donation quilts or gifts. I also do some consignment quilts but usually not more then two a year or so.
