    This year I made 2 art Quilts, 2 baby Quilts and1 king size quilt, as well as 2 mondo bags and a big fun artsy pillow. I am on a crazy Quilt kick right now so have been spending lots of time relearning all the embroidery stitches and learning ribbon embroidery. I’m thinking I could spend all next year on one crazy quilt!

    I had to go back and look at my blog to see how many I have done this year. It kind of depends on what you consider a "quilt". I'm retired, and like many others, I spend many hours a day doing some type of crafting. So it looks like last year in the quilting side of crafting I accomplished the following (listed by size of finished project):

    1 finished queen size quilt and pillow shams, started in 2012, (It was pieced and needed borders, etc.)
    1 queen size quilt and pillow shams (start to finish)
    2 lap size quilts start to finish
    1 I-Spy quilt
    1 baby quilt
    2 wall hangings
    2 larger table toppers
    2 small octagon table toppers
    4 placemats
    3 quilted pillow shams
    2 quilted potholders
    1 quilted French press coffee cozy
    1 mug rug

    I am retired. I made 16 full size quilts last year, 6 in 2017 along with merchandise for craft shows.

    Most of my quilts are for charity so they are fairly easy and lap size. I would guess about 2 a month. I do the quilting on anything smaller than a twin size since there is no way I can afford that many quilts to be done by a long-armer. And my long-armer is very reasonable. This year I also did a twin size t-shirt quilt and a king with over 2500 pieces that went to the long-armer. I do find a like the piecing better than the quilting part. I love sewing and spend as much time as possible at my machine.

    Since I've retired I usually complete at least 12 quilts per year. I give them as Christmas gifts each year -- the family will be "full up" before too long. My goal is to do something sewing or hobby related every day for 2-3 hours. It can be picking the next pattern, finding the fabric, cleaning up the sewing room or knitting washcloths. I make my goal pretty much every day.

    I have pieced three large King Size + quilts, two with pillow shams, completed two baby quilts, and working on another. The baby quilts have all been machine applique. I've not accomplished as much as I would have liked, but I've survived a hurricane (7 days in the shelter), broken teeth sustained during the hurricane, and cataract surgery. I think, all things considered, I've accomplished a lot. I am limited as to the time I can spend sewing due to spinal problems.

    LOL! Not sure what the plural is... but I have a bunch myself, though most of them still need to have borders or additional piecing added before they are ready for sandwichng....

    Oh, ouch Jeanette, I’m sorry to hear about your teeth and spine issues. Hurricanes scare me, having lived through several as a child (back before weather satellites).

    I am sure its different every year for me. This year I did 4 big quilts (queen size), 10 quilts for kids (45" x 55"), 8 baby/toddler quilts for gifts and then bound several for quilts for kids that others had made
