    How many quilts do you finish in a year?

    I am sure most of you are more prolific quilters than I am. Two years ago I only finished one quilt top, a bed sized needle turn applique pattern. It took an entire year, working on it almost every day. Generally I can finish a couple of large size pieced quilts in a year. I am sure it depends on the size, complexity of the pattern, whether you hand quilt, machine quilt or send it out. I envy those of you who complete so many quilts. There are many quilt patterns I would like to make, but realistically won't be able to.

    Interesting question because I don't count - I think I get about 4 done per year. But I have 2 different EPP quilts going, they are what I work on when I have no machine available and I have one that I am hand quilting from time to time. But the ones I machine piece and quilt - it's about 4 maybe 5.

    I probably finish 20-25 a year. But 2/3 of them are quilts for charity, 50 x 60 size or smaller and fairly simple designs.

    This is what I do also and that's about my speed.

    I don't count how many. It's all about the process for me, I work on it a bit and then do something else for a bit.

    I make a couple large quilts a year and a couple throw size and a few wall hangings and table runners. I make some quilted purses also.

    I probably get at least one quilt done a month. It depends on the size from lap quilt to mug rugs.

    I can't be a player in this thread, now if you start a "how many quilts do you start a year" I could be a player in that one. LOL

    Really I do one quilt a year give or take.

    I'll join this thread. I like to work on several at a time. That's my story and I'm sticking to it
