    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. :)

    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.

    I want to reply before I am swayed by other responses. I say, display what YOU like. It's your house, your home. That relative is probably a little envious that she doesn't have the time and/or talent to do what you are doing. (My sister once told me about my constantly sewing on quilts to "get a life." I told her this IS my life and the life I choose. BTW both she and her son wrap themselves in quillows that I've made for them.

    :wink: )

    dh & i have a deal.. he is the finance committee, i am the design committeel lol...

    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.

    Am I mistaken or is this YOUR house? Unless you're into looking like a magazine pg., my feeling is that it's my house & it gives me pleasure to look at my work. When I get tired of too many quilts around, then I chg. it.
