I have been going through my scraps and had them piled on the cutting table. My daughter came in, looked at it then gave me the mommy stare and said "It looks like some of your finished quilts snuck in and vomited on your table". That said, I have since finished 3 queen sized tops with probably enough to finish 3 more of just the scraps that have been left over from all the quilts I have made in the past 3 (yes I said 3) years. I currently have 8 quilt tops ready for the long arm (waiting on $ for batting & backing-going back to work next month) and 14 boxes of quilts (queen) in process, 6 tubs of fabric, divider drawers full of fabric... I can relate. I have about 8 queen quilts finished here. Now all the quilts have been made for "the bucket list". Each sibling, niece, nephew, daughter, grandchild will each get a queen sized quilt. There is 78 total to be made (69 done). Now anyone that sends me an invitation to a wedding, graduation etc. gets a quilt even if they have already rec'd one. Quite a few of this bucket 78 group have more than one quilt and now the children of the nieces and nephews have got this figured out to send auntie an invite. With grandchildren growing into adults, great grandkids are likely to start arriving. They might not use their queen-sized for years, but they will have them before I am gone to quilter's heaven. That's how I dispose of quilts~

mtnma52 that's a wonderful thing you are doing for your family. My kids and grandkids are getting tatted doilys from my grandmother that passed a number of years ago. I have two cherished crocheted twin bedspreads from my husband's grandmother. I'm still waiting to have the beds to display them on, but I get them out now and then just to remember her. I'm starting to do quilts for nieces and nephews. I'm the only quilter in the family and have no time table just something I want to do.

I have yet to keep any the 7 quilts I've made. They've all gone to family or friends. I have several yards of fabric picked out/folded on bolts and set aside for specific quilts TBD. Does that mean they are UFO's? I've also participated in several I-Spy 5" block swaps. I have 200-300 blocks ready to be pieced into 2-3 quilts but haven't chosen the layouts yet. Probably a disappearing 4 patch, tumbling charms or tumbling blocks patterns.

I will only work on one quilt at a time. That gives me the motivation to finish before I start on another one.

I can't imagine having 150 quilts completed and another 50 UFOs! That's a serious addiction!

Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

If you don't sell them, find a nursing home in your area and find out people who don,t have family and give them a Christmas present. They are so thrilled to have someone remember them. Who knows you might make new friends.

Ditto what Debra K said.

I rarely keep what I make...I give everything to my daughter and my friends. I do not have a cluttered room of quilts but would not mind if I did...LOL

There is a "quilts for sale" group on Yahoo groups. You might check into an ebay or etsy store.
