I have made about 90 since I retired in 2003. Quilting is a passion for me.

I have not kept track of how many I have made. I will not even take a quess. I have made many many charity quilts and many for my family.

I've made about 5 that were actually completed because someone threw my bags (at that time) of pieces away. Not going to go back to the past. Luckily the man I'm married to now throws nothing away without consulting with me first. Love him to pieces! My quilts weren't large and the diaper bag was adorable.

Finished? COMPLETELY finished? 71. Many others halfway or 2/3 done. But I cannot count them until the last stitch is in.

I started in May of 1992. I hand quilt, but have thought about long arm, just never had the $$.

I've made over a hundred if I remember them all. I'm counting wall hangings, too - not just bed or lap quilts, but I'm not counting table runners, bags etc.

40 years, around 20 a year. Oooo that's scary. I've donated, gifted, sold, participated, taught, displayed: if it is quilting, I've done it. Except submitted to judging, my grannies didn't do that.

I haven't counted.

I've probably made about 90 or so, but the funny thing is, for the first 20 years I only made Trip Around The Worlds and Log Cabins....all tied! When I reconnected with my best friend from childhood, she turned me onto the wide world of quilting. Now I take classes, I've done some amazing work and I would consider myself somewhat advanced. I usually have my work long-armed, but I do the occasional 'charity quilt' or 'go shopping in my stash quilt' and I machine quilt or tie those ($$$$$ saving!). The neat thing is there is no limit to what you can do. I am about to start a Double Wedding Ring for my daughter who is recently engaged and I am more excited about that quilt than any other I have ever made. I can just imagine any future grandchildren looking at it.................

I have been quilting since 1976 so I have made a few 100. At first I did all quilting by hand but the past 15 years my hands wont let me hold a needle. I now make about 10 a year. Mostly for donation quilts. All but 3 of these i have quilted myself on a Regular sewing machine. Just love the quilting part.

Since starting to quilt lost count, but I'm sure it's over 400. I made all sizes of quilts for a children s hospital , also the NW medical team, family and friends. I retired in 1995 so that's when I count from. Have 4 finished tops that are haunting me to quilt , due to some in home repairs being done I've not quilted on in 3 weeks. I have to paint the trim for my bath room, then hopefully will get back to quilting.
