I usually make a quilt for a purpose, rarely just make a quilt just to make it.

When I first began quilting, I took classes to learn techniques, in that case,, the quilt was made as a learning tool.

Sometimes my purpose is "oh, I think I'll like this". I quilt mainly for my own pleasure, so that's enough for me. I do give away quilts and make them occasionally for someone, but, it all has to "click" with me before I commit.

I rarely have a purpose to make a quilt. I like to different ones for show and tell for guild meetings and the local fair and quilt shows we have. I seldom give them away but my DDs will take them as soon as I finish one they like. As long as they want to store them in their homes that means I don't have to. LOL

I don't need a reason to make one. I do some just because I want to. If you want to quilt, but need a reason, consider making charity quilts.

With the exception of swap blocks, all my quilts have had homes long before they were done.

Sometimes in the process the intended recipient changes though. LOL!

Now not all of my fabric has specific quilts (or garments or costuming)in mind...that can be subject to change without notice!

I rarely have a purpase and make them because it's creative and it give me satisfaction that I created something beautiful...Then I donate or surprise friends and families with a gift of a guilt...

I don't need a reason, generally I just want to see how it turns out.

I 'll think of a purpose during sewing LOL
Just because I like it is a purpose as well, right?

My reason or purpose is "Just because I want to". I never have a reason other than that for making a quilt. If it finds a home after it is done, fine. If not, my family can sell them in a garage sale after I'm dead.
