    Only doonas (comforters) and now the doona covers are getting thin I'm just replacing them with homemade quilts/covers. I do have some blankets for the sofas (to protect the leather from paws), but as they disintegrate (literally) I am replacing them with waggas/quilts (waggas are Aussie quilts made from remnant clothing).

    Okay - true confession - I have purchased premade quilts (2) and re-quilted them.....and/or repaired them...they just spoke to me and I answered - one I have on spare room bed - other my daughter grabbed immediately after I got them done - used their quilting as basting and removed as I hand quilted

    I do have a dark blue and cream quilt I bought in Kohl's a few years ago for our queen sized bed. For several years I have had plans to make a quilt for our bed but there is always someone else who needs a quilt so it's been put off time and time again.

    We have 2 other bedrooms, one with a twin bed and the other with a double sized bed, and I'm happy to say they both have quilts on them that I have made.

    I bought one quilt for my bed as I have many, many tops to quilt. I do a lot of quilts to donate and quilt them but none for my house. I purchased a mid arm and hope to learn how to use it and then quilt the tops I have made. I usually do FMQ on all other quilts.

    Yes I do. But they're from my pre-quilting days. Or at least when I was on hiatus.

    No store bought quilts here, although we have several comforters. The queen quilt in the guest room is the first one I ever made and the one on the stand in the hall I made last year. Still don't have one for our king size bed, but may make something eventually.

    Yep, bought a quilt from Wal-mart for my bed. Can't let the animals trash my hand work which probably in fabric alone cost more than the "Better Homes" quilt
