I assign a number to each quilt or quilt top that I make (I sell some as tops) or another persons quilt that I quilted for them. Started in 1978. Now in the 1400's according to my spreadsheet. (A lot of these are small tops).

I'm sure, starting now, I will keep track of the ones I make!! Probably a photo album of some kind. Not that I'll ever have *that* many!!! lol

I think it's great the number of quilts everyone has made .... what a great hobby, stress reliever it is

Just guessing, somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 or more....at one time, I had 50 people reporting to me and they all required gifts when they were expecting...so they got a baby quilt. Cheap (back then) and nice...plus they were thrilled that I had invested a lot of time just for them. Then there are all the GK, and GGK...a total of 22 of those, each of whom got a hand-quilted one for their baby quilts...and now many of them are on their third or fourth large ones. And of course, all five of my kids have each gotten at least 2-3 large quilts. Oh, and did I mention I have a business?
So yep, I've been a little busy too....and most are documented...isn't it fun!

The correct question would be how many have I finished, have made quite a few tops but haven't finished many as I am a great starter

I started in 1965-1966 I made 26 and handquilted them. My three kids, six Grands, all have hand quilted quilts. I have four of them.
Started machine quilting in 2002 and have made 80, a few baby crib size, most double bed size, some a bit smaller, some queen. 10 biscuit quilts, tied, 10 or 12 comforters, tied.
I finish one and start another. I have lots of fabrics and I'm trying to use as much as I can. The only one not done is the one I am working on. I finish one before I start another.

I'm not exactly sure. I have donated many many quilts. Probably at least 160 or more. Most of the donated quilts were baby size but I have finished around10 queen size quilts. Mostly I make large lap size quilts that have been given as wedding gifts and such.

Never reallly counted but I know I made some when I was much younger that I wish I had back like the one where I hand embroidered the state birds and hand quilted it with my mother until my fingers bled. I know I have about 12 in the house right now, 7 of which are memory quilts from Nanas clothing, 2 Halloween, One cardinal and one Pittsburgh Penguins themed. My crowning acheivement was the quilt for my great neice to go off to college with
