What do you do with finished quilts?

Mine hang on the railing at the top of my staircase, or are folded on chairs, or drape over other quilts until I decide where to put them. My DH is going to make 4 identical blanket chests. Then I will divide them for my children.

Most quilts I make already have a home before I start them. Like many of the other members, I put the "just because" quilts out on beds/chairs/couches, one of my kids or grandkids will lay claim eventually. I only have about 8 quilts in my house ... the others have found homes over the years.

I send mine to where ever they are needed most important, like the people in Joplin they need them as, they lost everything and would appreicate this very much. There are so many of our people in the U>S>A that need some loving and caring. This is just one way to help them get warm or feel loved.

I generally have a purpose in mind when I begin a quilt. Most of my quilts have been gifts to family members. I have 10 quilts in my house that are used as bed covers, wall hangings, tablecloth, and throws. I make some for Hospice and I want to make some for our Humane Society

Like MYMR in Mt Juliet, TN I gave, not a quilt, but a tablerunner to one of my medical school classmates for her birthday last month. Have not seen her in 20 years, but know she has had a difficult year, so just sat down and made this double Irish chain runner in yellows with even fussy cuts (my first attempt). She was sooo surprised she wrote me three long paragraphs about how much this meant to her and the colors were her favorites.
I'll tell ya, my friend's appreciation was nothing compared to the joy I received at her delight!
