Since I've only been quilting for a few years (seems like so much wasted time on other hobbies that didn't last) I haven't made near as many as most of you, but I keep plugging away at it :lol: I will guess at around 20.

over 30 years, we have assigned a number to every quilt or top that we made, or someone else's quilt that I repaired or did hand quilting on. Just over 1300. Not counting doll house quilts or tiny string quilts. Mostly tops lately that I have been selling online.

Honestly dont keep track, I've made several, and been quilting for 8 years. some years I quilted more than others. This year has been a record year due to unemployment. I suppose if I had to guess I would say around 20 to 30. Not very many baby quilt, most were bigger than a lap quilt.

I've been quilting for only about 14 months and I can say I've pieces over 250+ VERY simple (45x60) kid sized quilts and 7 twin-full sized ones. I am very tired and a little burned out so I am going to concentrate on organizing my sewing room when I get home and not make another quilt until the end of October.

some where between 200 & 300...probably closest to the 300 mark. i go through phases- and at times have put out 30-40 quilts in a summer
95% of my quilts are bed sized- twins-queens (mostly queens) i really for some reason have a hard time making smaller kids/baby quilts.
made my first quilt in 1976- then another in 1978---then just sewed clothes for the next 20 years...then started making quilts again- and finally quit making clothes...unless i really want to make something (like flower girl dresses for daughter's wedding- bridesmaid dresses for new sister in law's (little brother)'s wedding.
has to be a pretty special occassion for me to make something beyond quilting any more. :)
