Actually, I do. I am not a prolific quilter (getting better). Decisions are difficult for me. I bought several as we have two homes, 1 in Illinois where all the kids and GKs are and 1 in WI on my DHs grandfather's land and also a mobile home there too, used as a guest house. All in all we have 15 beds of all sizes. Oh yeah, and I have 8 toilets to clean and 1 outhouse. Oh, glory be!

My DIL and I made 3 hanky (Moda) quilts for the WI home and I had one more twin bed in that area and I wanted another one so I bought a quilt from Wal Mart and used my extra hankies by sewing them onto the squares and requilted it. It turned out great. Took me just a couple of short days to do.

I just bought one for the MB in WI from Penney's that I absolutely love. It was way on sale and so I bought extra valances and shams to cover an old recliner (partly) and arm covers and also for the windows. Didn't cost me an arm and a leg and room looks beautiful.

I have seen some gorgeous ready mades (if you will) and have no problem buying them.
