good question, some I give as gifts, some to charity, some I hoard because I'm just not ready to part with them. They are somewhat like my "children". I have to let them get old enough to move away from home. lol

Throw it over the back of the couch. It will find a home soon enough, even if its home stays within my own, one of the kids or the husband will state claim to it. You will notice it is missing every now and then only to find that sooner or later it is no longer in the living room it is hid out in a bedroom somwhere! They also grow legs and walk out the door with friends (always with permission)!

put them over the couch, or at the end of a bed. One of the best thing I ever did - was send a quilt with no home - that I really liked to a friend of mine who i hadn't seen for a while. . . just becasue. she called and was crying - she is a single mom - and said this was the first thing she had ever gotten that didn't show up on a creidt card bill - It was a different type of feling - not like when you make something for charity and give it to someone who you don't know. This wil be a cherished memory for both of us. And - . . . I just did it !

I agree with justwannaquilt, mine seem to find themselves a home, there is even one floating around here that never got the binding on it yet, and it's over a year old! I think it was last seen in my daugheters room....................

I donate mine to the local police department. They have used them in exam rooms for victims, people there be questioned about events, accident victims. They tell me there are so many uses. Many times people are there due to traumatic issues and it will be on the back of a chair and they'll just pick it up and start covering with it. They also gave two to a deputy last year after her home burned down so she'd have for her and son's new beds.
