I sew with groups that make quilts for charity, and make the sizes they prefer. Project Linus, Quilts of Valor, a hospital group and my guild. I keep very few in my home, and my kids have filed a "cease and desist" order against any more quilts. For family, I make King size. I make Twin for babies, and never use baby print fabric. I want the kid to be able to use it for years, not just 6 months. There are many opportunities for giving quilts, depending on where you are located. Also anytime there's a disaster folks need bedding. We just lost over 400 single family homes in the big Thomas Fire last Dec. The local guilds went into warp mode to make sure the victims had blankets. We also gave to the fire victims in Northern California last year. I only make functional bed quilts. Never entered competition. You can see some of the quilts I've made in my photo albums. I haven't posted all of them, as I've been quilting for decades.
