I just purchased a used long arm quilting machine. I told my husband that I had to quilt at least 40 quilts to get my money back. (The machine is for my personal use only.) In the past, I've made 3 full-size quilts, 7 baby quilts, and several wall hangings and miscellaneous items. Of the 40 that I think I need to make, one is ready for the frame and one is being pieced. I think 40 is really stretching it for me!!
