I know we all quilt at different speeds and are in different places in our lives. I'm just curious about it.
I've been quilting around 25 years, give or take.
I would guess, I've made around 150 quilts (mostly baby sized quilts)

I know what your saying.
My first "quilt" was a whole quilt with yellow gingham on top and green on the bottom. My next two were the Trip around the World pattern from QIAD. Than I don't remember any after that until the last few years. I try to photograph each one now.
I've been quilting for 30 years and I estimate maybe 130 to140 including all sizes from small wall hangings to queen size. Wish I had recorded each one.

That is a scary thought. Between gifts, charity and baby quilts it's got to be well over 100. Boy that's a lot of sitting! Each one has been a joy and i hate to think what else i would be doing if not for sewing! LOL

Gosh!!! Been quilting since 1980 - started doing pillows by hand. This was slow going - so quickly started piecing on the machine. Still slow -quilting by hand. Now do all by machine. Maybe 200 things - mostly queen and king quilts. My biggest regret in quilting is I did not take pictures of all the things I have made.

I have been quilting about 10 years and have just figured I have done about 100 quilts. I make a quilt for each baby at church so in the last 8 years that has been about 25. Once you start counting it really adds up!
