    I have several of my nicest quilts that I kept I do like to make quilts for myself. The ones I give away i'm not too crazy about.

    My DH says my quilting has saved his life. He is sure if I had not found something that relaxes me like my quilting he is sure I would have killed him years ago. Yep he is right :D

    I make lots of quilts just because I want to. Don't need to have someone to give it to

    Most of my quilts have been made because I like the colors and patterns. Have some favorites that won't go to anyone until I am gone. I also have a difficult time "letting go" of my miniatures, so for the most part, unless I have made a specific quilt for a specific person (like quilts for my grandchildren) they stay here on quilt racks.

    I make my quilts just like you do. I make them because I love the pattern or the fabric. I display them for awhile and then put them away. I don't know what I will do when I have no place for them, but I haven't reached that yet. I do make quilts for other people, but if I plan the quilt for them, then I just don't get attached. Once, I made a baby quilt for a niece and loved it so much, I made another one just like it for me.

    nope, sometimes they decide what their home will be long after they are made. never hurts to have some ready in case you need one in a hurry also.

    My DH always tries to convince me that it is ok to keep the sewing projects I make. I am the one who thinks I have to give them away. Recently, I have been trying real hard to listen to him. I do love creating them so why can't I keep them? :)

    My stack of just for me quilts is getting bigger and bigger. I figure I can use them all and just rotate them out every so often! :)
