Default Bed quilts, lap quilts, wall hangings, mug rugs?

Just wondering what typed of quilts do you create? Are they for the bed? Do you decorate thru the house with quilted wall hangings?

I have run out of beds to sew quilts for...have them stored. Seasonal w/hangings too.

Some times I think this house looks like either a quilt gift shop or museum...lol.

Now we are thinking of getting a king bed...oh nuts...all my quilts are for queen. Here we go again.

Hey Julie...still doing a little of every thing, though the walls and tables are pretty well covered by now. Thank goodness my nieces, nieces in law, and co-workers are still having babies. Never been interested in mug rugs or bag making though. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Marilee....wishing I was back in NM.

A bit of everything Julie. I LOVE mug rugs, so much better than coasters that drinks stick to!

I love mug rugs, table toppers and runners. My first love is baby quilts and I make them for anyone who lets me know they are having a baby. I do regular quilts but send them out to be quilted. I love to piece though the eyes are not what they used to be. I have made a few bags but they are not my favorites. Oh I also make some of my clothes. Have been for 50 years, why stop now.

I also make quilts for my two kids and their families - that gives me 11 more people to make quilts for!!

I do all sizes - my favorite is a lap quilt though. Fairly easy to FMQ with my home machine and big enough to cover me when sitting.

I love table runners. Have done different size quilts and given all as gifts.

My quilts are mostly for sofa use, twin-sized or slightly smaller. I quilt them on my DSM, so hesitate to make anything too bulky.
