Default How many quilts do you finish in a year?

I am sure most of you are more prolific quilters than I am. Two years ago I only finished one quilt top, a bed sized needle turn applique pattern. It took an entire year, working on it almost every day. Generally I can finish a couple of large size pieced quilts in a year. I am sure it depends on the size, complexity of the pattern, whether you hand quilt, machine quilt or send it out. I envy those of you who complete so many quilts. There are many quilt patterns I would like to make, but realistically won't be able to.

Interesting question because I don't count - I think I get about 4 done per year. But I have 2 different EPP quilts going, they are what I work on when I have no machine available and I have one that I am hand quilting from time to time. But the ones I machine piece and quilt - it's about 4 maybe 5.

I probably finish 20-25 a year. But 2/3 of them are quilts for charity, 50 x 60 size or smaller and fairly simple designs.

I don't count how many. It's all about the process for me, I work on it a bit and then do something else for a bit.

I make a couple large quilts a year and a couple throw size and a few wall hangings and table runners. I make some quilted purses also.

I probably get at least one quilt done a month. It depends on the size from lap quilt to mug rugs.

I can't be a player in this thread, now if you start a "how many quilts do you start a year" I could be a player in that one. LOL

Really I do one quilt a year give or take.

I usually have three going at a time. Washing, ironing, cutting, ironing fabric for #1 quilt; piecing/sewing/basting/backing together a quilt #2; finally hand quilting/machine quilting and/or binding #3 quilt.

I totally finish about 12 per year, so years a few more for about the last 7 years. I finished 18 in 2010, when I quit working for a year. I write mine on a list that I keep with a small description.
I am trying to use up most of my fabrics. At almost 70 I may not be able to do it. I bought the fabrics for me to use. I think I would have to live to about 250 - 300 years old. Don't think that will happen. Only about 8 Crib size, some double, and twin.
