I have most of mine. I've made a few baby quilts for charity and 3 for friends but mostly they are stacking up here at home.

It's about half and half. I have kept many for myself, but have also given away just as many. Fortunately, I have given several to my husband so I still get to see them.

Mine have all been made for others -- however, I do have a couple of small wall hangings that I'm hanging on to. Who knows -- maybe this is the year I make a quilt for my bed??? :lol: :lol:

I have two on my bed. The rest are gifts. My kids all have a number of quilts and so do other family members. I repaired a baby quilt for a friend and she cried when she got it back. She and her mom made it for her son. Her mom is gone now so it preserved something she had made. That was one of my most rewarding moments.

Gifts. One was meant as a gift but the colors ran so bad it had to stay. I have one, Pat has one - and all the rest left the building.

Most of my quilts have gone out the door as gifts.
Many have been donated

I'd say I've given most away. But I have to confess, I made one a while back that was intended for someone else but I liked it so much that I kept it and made another for the gift.

I have made four times as many for gifts and charities as I have kept. Everyone in our family has a quilt, extended family too, and friends and a couple of charities. My DH quilts, too, and he is the same. All of his have been given away as gifts. I have 5 quilts that I have made, none bed sized. I am working on a king size for our bed, but it's been kicked to the bottom of the project pile several times already! :-) Some day it'll be done. Till then, I do have some others I want to make, and I'll make them large.

Most of my quilts go to someone else and/or a charity. I only have a few in my home.

I give most of mine away. I have 2 in the works for me but they keep getting on the back burner.
