Do you always know who your project is for, or where it will go, before you start?

My daughter always wants to know, "What are you gonna do with that?" (whatever the latest project is) and I just shrug my shoulders and smile...
But I do make stuff for particular people/purposes -- like baby quilts or presents... :roll:

I'm all over the board on this one. Sometimes it all comes together (pattern, fabric, and recipient). Other times, it starts as an idea or a test and then it has to find an owner. Sometimes it starts and becomes a UFO.
Right now, I have a loooooong list of potential recipients who are all patiently wating their turn. However, the list just got shorter by one. My SIL is a useless twit and it'll be a cold day....well, you get the picture.

You said "project" not fabric, so... sometime yes, sometimes no. When purchasing fabrics and patterns most of time I have no idea what it will become or who for. But by the time I sort it with a pattern and start on it, I may have a person in mind. I have had to make a ton of wedding gifts and now baby gifts the last couple years so...... many of those had names on them by the time they were grouped together
