My lovely DH reminded me the other day, that I have over 36 completed quilts/wall hangings in our home. Am I in the norm, or is that too many. So, how many do you have, that are displayed or used on a bed or couch?

I have none. It's very bad. As soon as they're done they just flow through my hands like water.

I wish I had kept some!

I only have two of my own quilts. One is the first quilt I made, which is a couch throw, and the other is a twin size quilt on my daughter's bed (so I guess it is hers and not mine, but its in the house). I also have a table topper that I made myself.

Edited to add: I forgot about a little 12" by 12" quilt I've got hanging on my bedroom wall, too.

Larger quilts I only have 2, but twins and laps I probably have over 12, and then I have wallhangings for every season. I change them seasonally. I have many tops waiting to be quilted too.

This is embarrassing but I probably have almost 200- a lot of them are antiques, many I've made also. I rotate them so I can enjoy them w/o being buried alive!!! lol

I have about that..but most of mine are collected vintage ones..everything I make seems to leave before I can admire it being finished!
I do have small pieces like table toppers, runners, wall hangings, but only 4 quilts out of 40+ in this house are mine that I made...and two of those are my boys!

I'd say maybe 25 or so if we're counting wall hangings.

Not a fair question.. I just stored 6 on batting rolls, they are queen size.
at least near 30, not counting all my table runners and such.
