    I do both, but the majority of the time I will see something I like, put it on my "Roundtoit" List, which should be renamed the "Maybe someday List", but many of the quilts I make, wall, bed, table runners, placemats, etc. I give away, and sometimes sell.

    I am a newbie so still working on the "this is for" list but close to the end and have planned several "just because" for me!

    I usually just make quilts that I like, then figure out what to do with it.

    I do quilt because I like playing with the colours, the shapes or trying new techniques, My quilts all found a new home when family and friends come to my house and sincerely love one, I don't say a word , wait till it is finished and then surprise them. No hassle of finding the right pattern or shade for me,no disapointment, no pressure!

    This is pretty much my approach to quilting as well.

    Usually I have some sort of intention for the quilt when I make it.

    I have a "need" but it usually really isn't for a quilt or a wall hanging, its for the joy of creating somthing that to me is beautiful, and hopefully beautiful to others too. I love the fabrics color, and the way they feel, I love the way I can see the project grow - that's pretty much my "need".
    I guess I always need gifts too, so that takes care of another need. ;-)

    I try a pattern or technique that I am curious about....and if it works well and gets finished, I can always find a place to put it!

    I make what inspires me at the time and worry about what to do with it later.
