I always finish them (Long armer does it!), then I bind during basketball season (my husband coaches!) Then..............I sit and wait! They age, they season and eventually-they are needed! Someone is ill, a baby is born, a wedding or just a surprise! All will eventually end up 'free to good home!' It is a hoot to drop one in the mail to someone when you know it will be a huge surprise!!! I have some that haven't had their 'calling' yet-7 or so years into it? Like my niece said..........Aunt Nadine must have quilts around like I have candles to send to my friends! (she got one when had an unexpected illness/surgery)! Also, when I get all my xmas letters-I make a list from them of all the quilts I will need that year! Get on them right away...just wrapping up this years....3 babies, 2 weddings, 2 high school graduations!
