No because I have an old cat that throws up a lot and sleeps on my bed. Plus our dog sleeps with us and loves to have her ball or stuffed pumpkin with her. I would not be able to bear seeing any of that on any of my quilts. I wish I could.

Mine are all on my kids and grandkids beds! I started a broken star for myself about fifteen years ago, and that quilt is NOT GOING TO LEAVE THE HOUSE!!!!! (Solution: If I don't finish it, no one will want it!) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have made 3 bed size quilts,( 1 king size, 2 queens,) 1 is in the guest bedroom, 1 I gave away and 1 in the closet, no pics. I am currently working on a UFO from 1999/2000, mostly I do wall hangings, etc., small items so something gets finished.

I do!
there's a quilt i made on my bed (along with a purchased quilt, a purchased blankie, and a purchased comforter - i need three blankets, the bf gets his own.)
Also, we have a quilt on the couch that we use, plus my turtle scrap quilt I cuddle with on the couch.
I also have a few in a tub that we use when people stay over or it gets really cold.

Right now my son and his new wife live in a trailer, so most of their quilts are here being stored until they are ready for them all. Oh--they both have their ragged flannels. :wink: My daughter is in her last semester of college, so has "Kayak on the Lake" here until she's in her own apartment. I have tow quilts I rotate on my bed, a fall log cabin--one ot the top two favorties I've ever made--and a spring color one. Hubby has three quilts on his bed--(now that the kids are gone we each have our own bedrooms due to snoring, etc) his CW, his ragged, and another one I made he loved. So--yup--no cobbler's kids here. Everyone is covered under lots and lots of loving stitches.
Every time I make a quilt I ask the daughters if either wants it first--then I decide if I'll offer it for sale.
We also have three lap quilts on the couches... but I prefer the afghan my daughter made me. :wink:
I'll post a few pics--but skip the ragged flannels...

Nope, not one quilt in my house. :(
I'm new to quilting and have only made a table runner and a set of place mats so far. Still shying away from trying my hand at one for a bed. Not sure if I or my machine could handle such a big project. I have an oversized king bed and I think I'd need to have it quilted which I'm sure would cost way more than I can afford.
I do love to look at all the beautiful ones here and am amazed at the awesome work you all do!!
