Another guild that I belong to is making prayer shawls this year that we will give to anyone in need.
The third guild I belong to makes Angel quilts, also donates to nursing homes, ect.

I have one quilt on my sewing room wall (lap size), another lap size across the bottom of my bed and that's it. I either give away to friends and family or donate them to QFK. I want to try and make one for myself one day to cover my entire bed.

I'm feeling really selfish right now. I've completed 2, have the top done for one that is for my wedding day whenever that shall be in the future, and have started another, and don't have the heart at the moment to give them away. They're all rolled up and stored in a cedar chest so no one even sees then, but I guess I'll have them should I find a friend that would deserve one.

I gave each of my DGS (25 & 28) a scrappy quilt for their birthdays this year. Their Mom said they weren't ready for a quilt, but a scrappy is a good place to start. I don't want to know if they are abused, but I think they'll use them for warmth and that's all I ask. When they get married I'll make the nicer quilts.

I started off keeping all of mine. I figured that making a quilt is so much work that I would just keep all of mine. I have recently made some for charity and just a month ago started making them "to order" for friends. (My sister has been quilting for 12 years and sort of has the family already covered in quilts. :) ) So I do all three.
