    I look at it this way --- I'm compelled to make quilts. My husband says I'm obsessive about them. So ... if I make them they have to go somewhere, right? I get the joy of making them and sending them out into the world. The giftee gets the joy of owning them. All good!

    Exactly! You probably really have no idea how special these gifts are that you give so freely. What an angel!

    I agree that the joy of passing the quilts on is a gift to giver and recipient.
