    I have 4 that I made myself and a couple that I have bought. I give most of mine away.

    You should never store quilts in plastic. I use cotton pillow cases.

    I also have learned that you should refold yuor quilts every couple of months in a different way
    so they don't wear on the folds.

    I am just a beginning with quilting so at this time I am making quilts for my family. I have only truly completed one which went to my youngest sister and this week I am quilting on for my hubby and in the process of making one for my oldest sister. I hope you find a home for them!!

    I have 5 that we use, and 1 baby quilt waiting to be gifted. I usually donate my quilts as fundraisers or need. Or make them as gifts. This doesn't include quilts that are "under construction"

    I have never kept track of them. :) I have given so many of them away to friends, family, anyone I know that has a baby, and have sold a few of them. I do have lots of quilts in the house. The kids all have at least 5 quilts at all times and I have a few too. I leave them on the back of the couches. I love the look of quilts...so cozy...makes you want to curl up with one.
    I plan on making many more, too! :)

    Usually make them for gifts. Only keep a few extras and that is only until they are done. Not counting my personal ones of course.

    Can't tell you how many have been gifted. I make them because they come from my soul and I can't help myself. I have no clue how many I've made and given away because I go through bouts when I don't photograph them. In my apartment, I have a quilt on my bed, one in the living room--used to hide the hole in the chair made by our "dog-ter"! on the daybed in my sewing area, is a quilt my mom made for my daughter (not the dog-ter) and on top of that is one I made and seems to want to be mine. There are also three lap-sized ones there too, two of which are earmarked for the local Project Linus. In the country, I have a quilt on daughter's bed, a quilt on my bed, a wall quilt in the study, one small one in the family room, and one in the guest room. I also have several quilts laying on the guest room bed for storage. These are ones I can't yet part with... In my sewing room, I have one completed quilt on the wall and various tops hanging up while waiting for their turn to be quilted. I also have several wall hangings I made in my office at work.
