I have been quilting a year and have made 15 quilts. I still have 13 of them, and three are out at a time. Quilts are just too much work to give away, I think. I did give one to a charity auction, and I made one for my sister-in-law, but I don't think she appreciated it. Sort of soured me on making any for anyone else, I'm afraid.

The two my grandmother made for me completely by hand. One is threadbare, but the G'ma's Flower Garden is in good shape.

Made about 60 & have at least 30. Some are very worn out & my furgrandbabies use them. When they get really bad, my husband takes them out to his garage to cover his car. It took me years to make any improvements in my "techniques?"--it took finding this board & all of the tips, etc, I found here :) :) :) I was a beginner for YEARS- now I am an advanced beginner----THANKS ALL!!!

I have probably about 15 quilts in my home. Unless, of course, you count WIP's and UFO's... :oops:

At least 50, maybe more. Was mostly my mom's, and sister's. They both are gone now, so I got them all. Only a few I have made. But I love them all..And I miss them both more everyday, but their quilts are great memories that I hold dear...

I have about 20. Most are from my grandmother in law. I have a baby quilt my great grandmother made for my dad. I only have 7 that I made.

I have at least 100-all sizes. Not to mention the ones I've given away. I take a picture of every quilt I make and keep them in a album!
