I am currently making a quilt for a surprise for my sister, do any of you guys and gals have trouble parting with them? I know I do but I remind myself I would never give one of my quilts just to anyone. One of my first quilts I made for my Mom, well, she wasn't someone I should have given one to, as she wasn't happy with the colors design, etc. My sister came to my rescue, as I was truly hurt, she asked mom do you realize the time and the effort that goes into making a quilt? Mom didn't know what to say to this. Wow that felt good to get that off my chest!!! I hope to send some pictures of my quilts as son as I figure out how :lol:

Welcome from Missouri. I select who will get a quilt from and so far everyone that received one has been very thrilled to get one. My Husband just told me his Mom wants me to make her a quilt, my pattern, my choice of colors, she is 84 yrs. old, she use to quilt but, got tired of the mess and quit. I gave her one a couple years ago to cover on the couch with while watching TV, she now wants a queen size for her bed.

Welcome from Central New York. All the quilts that I have ever made have gone someplace else. One of these days I might get around to making one for myself. Until then all the receivers have been happy with each one.
