I quilted for over 20 years before I ever kept one. Now I do believe we have 3. I make quilts to share, I give them family, friends, charity, new babies, weddings, I sell them. I think the only reason we have any is because one day my hubby asked ("are you ever going to make us a quilt? ") in the 8 years since that question I have kept 3.

Been quilting for many many years and only have 2 Completed quilts. I usualy give them away to family,friends and charity. I have 10 tops that need quilted but not funds right now to have them quilted.They smaller ones i can do myself but don't have a machine that can handle the large quilts.

I have been quilting since Oct 2011 and have made 34 quilts since then. Of that number, I have 1 table runner and 5 completed quilts in my home. Also have 8 tops that are finished but haven't seen the LA yet, but my LA has 2 quilts and a runner right now. The rest have been gifted or donated. More are in the works for the holidays! :-)

As I'm sitting in my living room I count 8 full size cuddle on the couch quilts. One table runner, and a wall hanging, three baby quilts in the grandbabies crib, one twin size on my granddaughters bed here at my house, a queen size in my bedroom but not on the bed, two kid sized cuddle quilts for my grandkids in my sewing room, a king size that I'm hand quilting for my trailer (for the last three years...sigh) and four waiting to be quilted (three baby/kids and a wall hanging for dh's mancave. That doesn't include the holiday quilts that I hang. I've given away lots of quilts, and both of my grown kids took all their quilts with them when they moved out.My three grandbabies also have several quilts each at their own houses. These days I have to have a reason to start a new quilt - I certainly don't need more quilts for the couch.

Just guesstimating, 10 wall quilts which is what I make when I'm testing a technique. (sold all the rest at a recent garage sale)
15 - 20 queen quilts. My early quilts are all wore out and sent to the great quilt rest home in the sky.
Quilting has been my passion since 1970. For the past 20 years all my bed quilts have been double sided.
Saves a ton of space and if I send them out it cuts the quilting cost in half so that estimate of 15-20 could be doubled if you count both sides.
I know passionate quilters who have store bought made in China quilts on their beds, it just makes me sad.
I want my quilts used to death!
and I don't make quick quilts, mine are made from intricate patterns with many small pieces. If I were in a hurry I'd buy a blanket.
