I only have two that I kept for myself - my very first one
that I made and my origami flower quilt. The rest have all been given away and have 2 waiting to be quilted. I agree
with Renee, they're just like chocolate, can't have too
many. Plus I have 3 sons and 9 grandchildren so gotta
make more quilts.

Who's counting???? I just keep making them because it is fun . .. then when I want to give one away I do . .. I love doing that because it is something that means something and who doesn't love something to wrap in and feel cozy . . . . . :-o

I'm with you Katier825! I only need 1 more. I have at least 2 on every bed ( this time of year) a cedar chest that contains 6 unfinished tops, and 4 finished quilts. the linen closet contains 2 picnic quilts, 3 lap quilts, and 2 other 'seasonal quilts' , the book case in the front bedroom has an antique quilt I found folded on a shelf,my sewing room currently has 2 projects going, and I have 3 hangings for my cube at work, and 3 hanging at the house.... wait that doesn't seem like enough to me, I better get making some more! LOL!

I've made 90 and counting in the 20 years I've been quilting. Some have gone to charity and others to friends and family. Ironically, I do not have my quilts on the bed because we had a dog who slept on the bed. They are all stored in an armoire, lovingly folded. I bring some of them out and rotate them around the house as decorations.

I don't think you can ever have enough, plus with grandkids who keep growing, you have to "grow up" their current quilts. Plus, with charities all over everywhere begging for quilts..... I mean, you could quilt for years and years and years and there would never be enough!!!
