You don't need to make a KING size quilt. It could just be a lap size quilt, that is what I made for myself.

You're like me. I don't know how many I made either. I'm impressed that you know how many UFO's you have. I lost count since my move across the country.

I do know that I had finished the top quilt on a various dog applique and I can't find it. I also know that there's x-block quilt that the top is also finished but it can't be located it either. I'm sure those quilt tops and other UFO's will pop up soon, I hope.

Wow Marcia,.... that's a lot of quilt that you've done in the last nine years.

One.
A twin bed size tied quilt.
However, I'm 13 so I may someday be able to say, I've done 300+ quilts!

I've made 1 for myself, in the process of making another one for myself. The first one has never been on the bed-Christmas theme. I've probably donated over 100.

That is so wonderful that you get to start early. I know for sure you'll be able to make that 300+ quilts.

I have made NONE for myself.
Can't remember how many I've made for others......

I keep saying "I'm making this quilt for myself" but for some reason it always seems to "find another home" Of course, my daughter is famous for saying, "I should always get the first one you make of any pattern!"

I make one very special quilt each year. I find a war veteran and give it to him or her with a letter of THANK YOU FOR MY FREEDOM. Sometimes this veteran is someone I know, but most of the time it is a total stranger. No I don't do this on Veteran's Day. I just do this whenever I get the quilt done.

I've donated quilts to the local battered woman's shelter and to the police and fire departments. I made and donated quilts to an organization called NEWBORNS IN NEED.

As far as how many have I made? Sorry, I just don't count them anymore. As far as for myself? I'll get that accomplished one of these days.
