I would make them just because I like to. There is always a birthday, a secret pal,a new baby or some occassion to pull one out already to go.Someday my grandkids can fight over them.LOL!

I have to have a reason too.... I'm not one to make a plain jane item.. always have to modify it to my occasion or design....

:thumbup: I agree!

I just love to sew & quilt. I am constantly trying out new techniques or patterns. Now that I have DH an all 9 grands quilts made I quilt just for me. I would like to someday have a closet of quilts to open the door and tell someone to just choose a quilt. I am also starting a hope chest for grands. I also do charity quilts.

If I need to make one, I can do it a lot quicker, but I also make them just because. I want to build up a stash of finished quilts so that if there's someone who needs a gift, I have one at the ready. Now if I could just get them finished...I'm pretty sure just a quilt top wouldn't go over too well...

I have made a couple that I did not know what to do with and I ended up giving them as baby gifts when I had nothing else. I was lucky that the colors matched the gender. I need to make a couple of boy quilts... LOL Most of mine do have a purpose behind them.

You don't need a reason to make a quilt. You may quilt to learn a new technique or template or colors. A need for it will pop up when it is just about done..

I love designing quilts, buying fabric, watching the quilt come to life as you progress through all of the different steps of assembly. Making a quilt specifically for someone just adds to my enjoyment.

I see beautiful fabric and great patterns and I have to try and make one "like that". Besides, I have so many grandchildren and greats that I won't live long enough to make one for every single one of them. And then, there is me. I want several for me, just to make and look at, I guess.

Ok I have to say after so any responses to my topic you have taught me that maybe it is tie to just make a quilt for no reason other than to make it . I see soo many that I love and think boy I wouldn't mind one like that . Maybe I will just start one and if I like it I will keep it if not find some loving person that will appreciate just getting one
