I agree with everyone else. Never too many quilts. You make them because you enjoy and love them so surround yourself with what makes you feel happy. I have quilts all over my house. I might change them with the seasons but I just love to look at them. Telll your relative that it is your house and you love it the way it is and if it makes her uncomfortable then maybe she should stay at her own home which I am sure she has decorated with the things that she loves. :)

My feeling is if you got them flaunt them!!!!

Just tell them that it is another source of getting hugs. Then give them hugs.

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.

Its your house and you can have as many quilts on display as you want.

That made me think...
we have such an old house (circa 1738) that some stuff just doesn't look right in here... hence no purple walls... but i got purple into every quilt...so most rooms have a touch of it anyway... |
Too many? Maybe if you can't see the furniture, are tripping over them going to the kitchen ... maybe that IS too many.

I currently have 5 displayed and am adding to it!

Last night while I was sewing, I watched a video of Simply Quilts that I taped maybe 6 or 7 years ago. It showed the home of a renown quilter (can't remember her name now .. duh) with quilts on the walls, stairway, beds etc... very tasteful, elegant even. She spoke of rotating her quilts seasonally, how she hangs them for display etc.
When it is our home, we can do as we like. Someone entering our home should only give positive comments, not critical ones. Any negative thoughts should be politely kept to themselves. |
Hi Lucy!
I just did a quilt count, I have two flannel and one cotton quilt in my living room, one flannel on my wall quilt rack in my den and one over the back of my recliner. That's 5 now on the main floor! One on every bed upstairs (3) and about 8 on my quilt racks in the spare bedroom.....oh my! Some of these quilts do go to the lake in the summer, but I don't leave them there over the winter. Do I dare count in the closets? Nahhhhh! I love my quilts, too, and it's my house! See ya soon! Bev |

Personally, I think quilts make a house a "home". |
I only counted 9 creations and a couple of pillows in your posting. You are seriously behind the power curve! lol. You need a few wallhangings going up and down the stairs....what do your bathrooms look like? A couple can go there. Quilted shower curtains anybody? How you look on tablerunners? Quilted rugs? (if there is such a thing) lol.
I bet your house is cozy and warm just the way YOU like it. |
When you run out of space, you've reached the limit and it's time to stop. As long as you love them and enjoy looking at them don't worry what others think. If relatives think your house is too "quilty", perhaps they should keep it to themselves. If she's comfortable enough to make these comments about something that's obviously dear to you, then perhaps you should be just as candid and tell her you're not interested in hearing her negative opinions about your decor.
Kind of snarky, but sounds like she could use a lesson in sensitivity. |
