Quilterbabe, What you are doing here is Wonderful! Beautiful quilts! This is horrible, but I wasn't expecting them to be so detailed and lovely when I read the topic title. I am sure that your quilts warm more than laps.

I don't need a specific person to quilt for - I just enjoy the freedom of chosing my own colors, pattern, etc. BTW - a lot of these are my own designs. I start by using up some scraps or something that didn't work in another quilt - and it "tells me" what I need to do next.
Just because I like to sew
Just because someone else needs something to feel special about
Just because I have nothing better to do
Just because I can (as long as my money holds out LOL)
Just because God gave me a gift of giving and I enjoy doing so
You can add any "Just because" statement you want as long as you can do what you enjoy and pass it on to someone else in need of a pick-me-up or not.
Anyway, just keep doing what you do and you will be happy that you did. By the way, you have some really nice quilts there and I'm sure whom ever gets one will cherish it.
