    I don't know how many quilts I have made but alot of them for sure. I have 2 full size ones and a a few wall hangings and thorw size ones. I can safely say I give about 95 % away.

    I totally agree Char . It gives me great plaesure to present family and friends with quilts. i do alot of charity sewing / quilts also. My husband took several from my guild to Appalachia a few years ago. He brought home pictures of kids hugging the quilts and stories that made my heart happy . I am so grateful for all of the wonderful women who give of themselves to those less fortunate. May God Bless them all each and everyone !

    I have kept several, probably 8 - 10, not sure. I keep one hanging in the dining room, one in the living room, one on the sofa in the den, a wall hanging size on the window in my front door, etc. I change them around depending on the season. Also, I usually keep a quilt for a while and display it before I send it home with someone, just because I really like looking at them all finished. My quilts are usually given away before they are finished, but it may be a while before it goes home with them.

    I have several throws that my mom made, but as for me, I am just finishing up my second quilt for me to keep since 1984!

    Most of my quilts have gone to other homes as gifts. I have only made about a dozen quilts to date and have a lap quilt that stayed and a French Braid that ended up being larger and than intended and ended up on my own bed. I can see myself donating quilts in the future. To me they are an expression of love and ment to be given.

    That's a hard one. I made all the quilts for my family. 50% in six years. We each have at least two, winter weight and summer autum weight. I think ten percent is sold and the last forty percent is given to relatives.
