If someone comments on your decor - they are the one with the problem - you live there and whatever fits for you is the right number of quilts, or colors, or whatever - YOUR HOUSE !
|
I believe if you are coming to see my house and not me, don't bother coming over. If you want to have quilts, have them.
|
It's my house, I want to display quilts I made, don't tell me what you want...it's my house. (Play on Bon Jovi's "It's my life..".) Quilts are made to be enjoyed, gazed upon, and envied.
|
I know one is never enough. Can you have too many?
|
It's YOUR house! Do what you want!! Personally, I'd LOVE to have that many quilts on display. ENJOY!! :-)
|
i didn't know there was such a thing, as too many???????? never, your house, YOUR rules!!!!

I figure that I am going to keep on quilting till I die.... if we are never going to stop making them, then why should we put a limit on displaying them?
I've got at least 20 quilts displayed all the time, plus 3 walls are for rotating displays, also quilts are hung over chairs... also have some cross-stitch and needlepoint on the walls... the walls are filled, but I think that blank walls are boring!! Even if some of this stuff was made years ago, I am not tired of enjoying them... they are the landmarks on my needlework journey... |
I don't think there is any number that is too many...I hang quilts all over my house...larger quilts, wallhanging size, tablerunners, a quilt rack with many quilts draped on it, and a cabinet full of quilts that are out...I do rotate seasonally what quilts I have on display...that is the fun of it...to see different quilts. I don't think I have too many...as long as they aren't totally covering the walls...well...maybe that wouldn't be too many either if you were happy with how it looks.
Enjoy all your quilts! |
I would display as many as I had walls for. What good are they packed away where they can't be seen?

Is this too much? I know people that do ceramics and have figurines all over the place. A relative said, my house looks to quilty! I just said, I love my quilts and like to look at them. Just curious what others think.

I keep them moving, on and off the couches and stands. I never get tired of them and love to change them.
|
You can never display to many quilts
|
There is never toooooooo many quilts. I have quilts and quilt tops and quilt pillows and quilted wallhangings. I love the way they warm up a space and bring a smile to my heart. My grandmas both quilted and I have a quilt from each of them. Since my one grandma died before my parents married I never knew her so it feels like I have something from her, not just the quilt but also the fact that I am a quilter. :lol: :lol:
|
The more the better!!!
|
Glad everyone agrees that a person can display what they want. I just never expected anyone to say anything and was taken off guard. Thanks everyone for making me feel better and a couple of laughs with it. I won't quit displaying my quilts and I am glad everyone does display their quilts. My relative can be a pain but it is her problem. Thanks again
|
Is is our way of decorating and enjoying our passion.
|
Isn't that like asking "how much fabric is too much fabric?" Never too many quilts, never too much fabric.
|
I don't worry about what others say about my quilts. It is my
house and if they don't want to see them they can stay home. |
No such thing as too many. My LQS has mini's displayed in the bathroom. Have you thought about putting some of your smaller quilts in there? Gives you something to look at while you are in there. I am thinking about doing the same thing in my bathrooms (I have three bathrooms) as I have a bunch of smaller and mini quilts. Mini's are great for trying out a new pattern, using up scraps, practicing machine quilting, a "last minute" gift, etc.
|
There is no such thing as "Too Many", if your happy so be it.
|
What the relative is saying is that it is too many quilts for her if it were her house....since it is your house enjoy whatever number of quilts you like.
|
I completely agree that we should all feel free to decorate our homes just as we please, but considering the tastes of loved ones we share our homes with. On my travels I've spoken to a couple of men who said that one of the few good things about getting divorced was that they could finally decorate their homes they way *they* wanted to. That made me think...
|
Well, bless their heart. That's one less relative you need to make a quilt for! lol

I would hope that my momma (bless her departed soul) would come back to put me in the time out corner if I ever told someone else in their home how they should live in the building they are paying for, cleaning everyday, eating in, sleeping in, praying in, and doing everything else that they wish do in their home. It is just plain rude. It is like saying that the Smithsonian has to many collections.
My advice make new friends and pick new relatives. This is a classic example of pearls before swine. (Sorry pigs, I mean no offense.) |
If you love the look, it's not too busy. It's your house so you get to decide how to decorate it.

It's not your relative's house...

There is no such thing as too many quilts! I have a 8 bedroom Inn and each room as at least 2 - 1 on the bed and another on a chair. And, they change seasonally!!! :thumbup:

Shoot! I wouldn't even bother explaining myself. Do what makes you happy. As long as you are not hurting anyone, why should anyone care what you have in your home? Do you tell her what to do in her home? (My guess is no!)
|
I love my quilts every where. They make every thing look better.
|
Never too many. It is your house.
|
If you are happy with what is around your house, you can never have too many. I am very fortunate as i have 2 daughters who paint. I have their paintings all over the house and DISPLAYED as i am very proud of them and lovely everyone one, even those will a little "flaw". I feel the same with my quilts.
|
There is never enough quilts on display in my opinion!!!
I too love looking at quilts!! Ignore the relative it is your house!! |
This is your passion and you should celebrate the fact that you have this gift.I too have quilts all over and one day a very old lady came to my house and I apologized for the quilts and she said you are blessed to have this gift of quilting every one does not have a hobby that gives them so much pleasure and others too so just enjoy.

I've seen quilts on every single wall and it looked great. It was a doctors office :)
