All the beds in our house are quilted with my work, sometimes 2 or 3. Doesn't bother me if Iris (our kitty) sheds on them, they wash very well. I try to keep all my relatives supplied with quilts also. Nothing beats cuddling up with or under a quilt made with love.

Store bought for now. Maybe sometime next year.

Like many others here, I have a store bought quilt which I put a sheet over at night because my 3 little dogs and cat get up there to sleep with me. Someone else on here said she had a quilt on her bed she started 20 years ago from cardboard home made patters, cut out with scissors, etc, etc. I have one of those up in my closet that is finished except for the borders and binding. It was a quilt as you go hand pieced and hand quilted. Once it's finished I want to hang it in my bedroom; would not want my babies on it and can't imagine not having them around. The youngest dog (a yorkie/chihuahua) and the cat are both less than a year old and I suspect they'll be around till I'm 80ish!

goodness gracious. I love seeing all these future heirlooms. I applaud you all!

I am using a quilt I tied in 1978, while I was in High School. I also sometimes use a quilt my Grandparents tied in about '85, it is about worn out. The first of the year I paln to make me a scrappy quilt. I am excited to get started!

Here's mine.

I have a beautiful taupe cotton sateen wholecloth quilt on our bed...unfortunately it was bought! I bought coordinating fabrics with the idea of making a topper and some decorative pillows, just another addition to my long to-do list! I have smaller quilts here and there through the house, just no bed quilts. It's not like I haven't made larger quilts...those were just for other people...ironic!

Beautiful quilts both of them.
And I change my quilts on my bed all the time but they are store bought.

I have one of my older quilts that I made on ours. I should switch it out, but it is soo warm!

My DH doesn't sleep with me either, he almost broke my nose once, likes to thrash around in his sleep so I don't have to worry what he thinks but I don't like a too heavy quilt on my bed either, I just throw it off if I don't need it, I also like it cool when I sleep, don't want to be hot! If I wake up sweating it starts my day in a grouchy mood
