A bunch, but who's counting
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
A bunch, but who's counting
I have 5.
One on my bed. One on the guest bed. One hung on the wall and 2 Christmas Quilts.
I have been quilting for over 35 years and I give most of mine away.

I have 17 bed size quilts that I change out on the 3 queen size beds. 8 throw size. 20 or so wall, table runners. I did an excel sheet last year and I have completed over 100 projects big and small, gifts and other in the last 7 years. I guess I'm a "quiltmaker."
Well from memory, 3 received from my Mom, 3 wall hangings have won at raffles, 3 antique that I purchased and 3 that I have made. So that doesn't sound so bad. Glad I don't have to count UFOs.

I tried not to reply to this but I have a condition called "separation anxiety". Not a real medical diagnosis but after I put so much money out for fabric then put so much of myself in labor into a project if I don't have a person in mind I just can't let things go. I have an 8' closet shelf full of quilted pcs. I have numerous table toppers,runners etc on pant hangers hanging. I'm talking Spicy Spirals, New Orleans Puzzle ( called Spinning Stars in certain areas), and what I consider special patterns
I feel pathetic. I don't know how so many of you can donate so much. Just don't know what I'm going to do with all of it.
I have the same condition. I am glad to know that there are at least two of us.And, you know, don't worry. You can always donate anything in your stack later. That's what I tell myself....or if I had any family members who liked quilts, that might be an option too..but I don't. Family members, yes,...who like quilts, no. But I like them, and for the moment, that is enough.

Four so far. But all of my fabric is my favorite so I can't seem myself every giving one away. lol.
Two and one almost finished. I have made quilts for my son and daughter and also for their children. I make a lot of charity quilts. I don't keep many of my quilts. They are meant to be given.
I have four finished quilts that are ours. Two are inherited from my folks and not made by me. I have two that are planned for here, but, they just keep getting put on hold for some other quilt that is a gift or charity work. A Tennessee waltz and a craftsy class one I just bought the fabric for.
I do have many table runners and placemats though. Do those count?

I have made over 1oo quilts and I only have kept 6 for use in my home. Ladies in quilt groups do trunk shows and show off a lot of their work. I will never be able to do that, I gift them as soon as they are done.
Live, Love, Laugh.......it is what it is.
