    I agree with BeckyL totally. My kids laugh at me, but I have to let my quilts "grow up" before letting them go home with someone else. I made four log cabin quilts late last year for my four kids, they are still here, waiting for me to say they could go...............LOL.......... is that weird or not???

    I donate mine, womens shelters, sick kids, veterans, whatever you heart tells you, they love having them. When people lose their belongings in fires, they also appreciate them

    Someone in the family usually says "I love that" so I put their name on it. A week or two ago I divvyed them all up between kids and grandkids.

    Right now, I have a list to make for cause

    Two baby girl quilts
    One for my Mama (something with lavanders and green)
    Patriot one for my hubby and me
    guitar quilt for a friend who has played for years
    Happy Kitty for a dear friend who loves the little cat
    A panel quilt for another friend

    Since I still work full time will be a while before I have extras to worry about.

    I had 5 tops I'd made "just because" back in January. Had them draped over the backs of dining chairs and really liked the look. They all ended up finished and gone in the same week. I miss them! So I'm making more to take their place. :)

    If they weren't specifically made for someone, then I keep them until I can find a home for them. Trouble is, there's never much accumulated waiting for a home. LOL

    I have them around the house too - backs of sofas, on beds etc. I also give some away, but I'm fussy who I give them to! Want them to go to good homes! ie people who like quilts and will use them. That seems to be everyone I know at the moment, because I keep getting asked "what are you working on now - can I have a look". I haven't donated any to charity, although I have thought about this, just haven't done it yet.

    I also have mine decorating my country style home. I have them everywhere,couch,tables,walls and beds. A few are decorating my daughters home to. I havent made enough yet to donate by myself but I belong to a small group that makes them for charity.
