I've only been quilting about five years and I've made about 50 quilts. I've kept three. I've given 8 or 10 to friends/family. The rest have been donated - mostly to Quilts For Kids. When I decided to start this hobby I made up my mind from the beginning that the quilts would not stay with me. I made a baby quilt in the first basic quilt class that I took - I deliberately chose a baby quilt so I would not be tempted to keep it.
I donated it to a women's shelter. I photograph all of them so, in a way, I've also kept all of them.
