I agree with the Grandma/family issue - I have made several and they go to family members who are thrilled to have a piece of Grandma's heart. I have made quilts or lap quilts every year for gifts for 3 years now (since I started quilting). This year will do table runners and placemats - as I think they are afraid they (daughters) will get yet another quilt. Youngest daughter brought up old t-shirts and we cut them out Easter weekend - she requested a quilt for next Christmas made from her T-shirts - so the outcome will be a surprise - but not the gift. It was fun to "relive" her T-shirts as each one has a story about her travels. Since these T-shirts are fragile - will probably tie rather than quilt.
