    Default too many Christmas quilts

    I don't know if anyone has asked it before but has anyone made too many Christmas quilts. I keep seeing all these adorable quilts and I want to make so many of them. I am wondering how do you pace yourself with all this inspiation?

    You're right - it is hard. I think that's why so many of us have "bucket lists" that would take us several lifetimes to complete !!

    I don't have a single Christmas quilt made. I have a kit but not sure I have time to make it between other projects. But I'd love one or two or three!!!!

    Sorry, didn't know there was such a thing as 'too many' of any kind of quilt!! I have Christmas quilts for each bed, wall hangings, table runners, candle mats, etc. and still make new Christmas things every year. My kids will fight over them someday so it is up to me to make sure there are enough to go around (haha).

    I have at least one Christmas quilt in nearly every room. Made 9 for family gifts this year. Finally cut out the Jenny Beyer Christmas kit I bought serveral years ago at her shop. Hope to finish it this year or maybe next year!

    I've made four wall hangings, one table runner, and one bed sized Christmas quilt with another waiting to be quilting and a sleighful of Christmas fabric needing to be stitched. Christmas fabric is one of my weaknesses. There, I said it.
