I keep most of them. I give to those I know will love and take care of them. Because most of what I make I love, I will not relinquish them to somebody that will sit on the bed and paint their toenails (getting nail polish all over) or somebody that will wrap themselves so tightly in then the seams pop. Just me...

I have made some 25 or 30 quilts, and I have only about 15 here at home. My kids love them though. I have given most of them away.

I keep very few of my quilts, most of given to family and friends. I also donate quilts, blocks or just tops to various charities. I kept the 2 quilts that DH and I use while watching TV when it's cold, large lap size ones for the kids to use when they stay over and a few seasonal wall hangings and table runners.

There is a large trunk filled with small to medium size quilts that were made for challenges or for my guild's quilt shows. Now when I make something for a challenge or show I decide what I'm going to do with it after the show or challange is over, either make it large enough for someone to use as a lap quilt or small enough to donate as a kid's quilt.

Sounds like I am in good company - I have yet to make a quilt for me :) All mine are made and given away ... BUT, this summer I am making one for me. Which to be honest I promised myself last year and it never happened :shock: LOL

Right now I only have a couple of the "early" quilts that made. All the others have either been gifts to family and friends, or charity quilts for local nursing homes and the pediatric unit at the hospital. I do have a couple in the works that will be ours to keep, but will continue to do charity quilts and an occasional gift quilt.

Mostly give them away. All I've kept are a couple of couch throws.

LOL, I've just found material for me!!!! I WILL make something for me!! I always felt so special in class!

All of the quilts that I haven't finnished are mine for now. I don't mean to procrastinate but it happens. I do have one BOM that I want for myself. The blocks are done and the sashing is waiting. Soon, maybe by my birthday this summer.

I make most of mine to give away but have decided that as soon as I get all of the started projects finished that I am doing at least two for my house.

I've given away over 40 quilts and kept 7 various bed sizes, 1 lap quilt and 2 wall hangings. I do a baby quilt for each new baby in the family and a house warming quilt as the young ones buy there first home. Also, comfort quilts when a family member has serious health problem.
