    I have some quilts I bought at Goodwill or garage sales. I do not have any quilts I have made because I give them all away. I just finished the top of a quilt for me. My youngest son bought me the material because he knew I loved it. I will quilt it when it is cooler.

    I have at least four. Three bought in stores and one beauty from QVC. I couldn't have made it as inexpensively as the one I bought from QVC, plus it was a pattern and technique I never would have done. A full Texas star with trapunto surrounding it. Sometimes I need immediate gratification.

    I have 2 expensive store-bought quilts and 2 cheap store-bought quilts (they were bought for me by my son.) I think if you quilt, you can still buy other quilts. I buy what I want, use what I want. I like what I make but I tend to give them away before I will use them. I do have two I made and working on one for my husband, He can Keep.)

    Yes, the disgusting things. It is just that I have a king size bed and it is hard for me to finish one that size.

    I'm raising my hand here. I have four queen-sized pieced quilts that I bought when I worked at a major department store. After special sale, double coupon day and employee discount, I paid only $15 for them. They're in intricate patterns I would never be able to accomplish. Also, I get bored after making anything larger than a lap quilt.

    Yes, I bought 3 in the spring on clearance for $13 and change each at Target. All 3 are king size and the original price was $89 and change each. Just couldn't pass them up for that price. All 3 are being used, 1 by me and 2 by 2 of my kids.

    Yes, I bought one almost 20 yrs. ago when we moved to this house. J.C. Penney catalog, I believe. Also purchased a matching wallpaper border at the same time. Loved them both. That was long before I ever attempted any quilt making of my own.
