I love all of them, but have been trying to make at least one for each of my grandkids. Now they are having babies, so I have to live forever so I can get them all done. lol. I feel your pain, but we can only use so many ourselves.

I have given all but one of mine away. The one I have I made for myself in a hurry. I get chilled when i take my med's for RA and I got into my scraps and made a quick lap quilt from prints of flowers and butterfly's. I tied it and it has been wonderful for me when I get chilled.

Maybe I'm too new at quilting, but the first two tops I've made I donated to our church as the charity they donate to has strict requirements how they are quilted. Had a lot of fun sewing, learned by making mistakes, took a picture of them and they're gone. Third top is a gift that I need to put a border on and quilt. Smaller items have all been intended as gifts. I am enjoying the learning and time working on them. Have started one I intend to keep. Of course, maybe part of it is trying not to keep more "things."

Sometimes when I am making one, it begins to tell me where it is going. .have you had that happen? I will see a pattern I want to try, I will start and be working away on it, and it then just begins to tell me who it will belong to...I have had that happen so many times............and I do love to surprise someone who is not expecting it..........I got to do that last night, to a friend who is someone I met years ago, during a job assignment and she and I have just been friends since then......if I can find the photo, I will put it on here to show you............she was so surprised and so delighted about it..........

[ATTACH=CONFIG]530109[/ATTACH]This was my first attempt at stippling and did not use a pattern- also first time I did sashing. This one is in use at home a lot.
