Are there any other quilters out there who find themselves sewing every day.... but still sleep under store-bought blankets? My hubby finally yelled out to me today "MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL!" I told him I do, I just give those big ones away. Whoops! I guess I'd better finish one for our bed now, huh?

I gave up on store bought. I'm never happy at what I get for the price I paid. Now I even got my DH. DD, DGS spoiled. And to little time on my hands.

My name never seems to get to the top of the list for the next quilt....lol

Ditto! But I do have one in the works - just needs borders & quilting...I keep putting it aside for other projects. I've got to finish it!

Boy, I was wondering if it was just me. Everything that I've made large has been for someone out of this house. I have just a couple of wallhangings that I don't even use. Not my taste anymore.

Come on ladies and gentlemen. You deserve to sleep under a beautiful quilt. Make one for yourself first. Even my cat has a quilt for his favorite resting place.

Me too! Store bought & on sale. LOL But I do have 2 queen size quilts in progress. Plan to keep both. One only needs a final border, then I can finish it.

Guilty, but my dream quilt is in the planning stage. I even bought all the fabric, so next year after I retire, it will be the first quilt I make. :-D

I do not have a store bought quilt in the house. My beds (2) have my hand made quilts on them. and my kids all have quilts on their beds. But I have been retired many years and have been makeing quilts for a loooong time.

took me almost 6 years to finally make a quilt for my bed...now i have 2 different ones...took that long to get the rest of the families done and it be our turn...my dh was good about it but once in a while would ask, ever going to make one for us?
