I am not sure I know how many quilts are in my house; but I know that I have 2 king size quilts, both quilted on my domestic machine, well, when you don't know what you're doing, nobody can tell you that you can't, and the first one was 110 x 110 inches with pieced basket quilts set on point with sashing and 4 center medallion blocks with machine quilted round feathers. The other is a Key West block, named Keepsake Kaliedascope - the majority of the fabric was chosen in a trip to Keepsake Quilting with my husband, where he picked out 2 of the fabrics, then in my stash I had a piece of fabric with butterflies, grasses, etc. on a black background, which was supposed to be a blouse for me, but instead it wanted to be a quilt. I will never, ever make another one, far too many bias edges, made before I knew about using spray starch to make the fabrics behave, but it was for our 25th wedding anniversary, however it was finished 5 years later, and we celebrated our 45th anniversary last Feb. That's what I get for letting him entirely pick the pattern and the fabric, although teal and black are great colors. I probably have a dozen wall hangings for various holidays, if not more, 3 lap quilts, plus 3 more yet to be quilted, and many, many more. I've been trying, although not too successfully to take pictures of all my quilts and put them in a small photo album, along with pictures of about a dozen or more family reunion quilts, unfortunately, none in my possession, but the relatives that won them are happy with them. I do agree that quilting can be very addictive, but I do not want the cure.
