I have made about 45 and I have my great grandmother's quilt (she hand pieced it in 1920, I hand quilted it in 2002), my very first quilt lap size, and a Trip around the World that I hand quilted and kept. My husband implied that I make them for everyone but him. When I pressed him last week about whether he REALLY wanted a quilt, he said NO!! I just think you should have one folded up at the foot of every bed in the house... Do you think he really wants one??

So we went to the quilt show in Paducah this past spring and I had him feel all the batts and none are really heavy enough according to him for another king size top I have.
When we got home, I dug through all the closets and my scrap pile and pulled out and cut up all the old blue jeans and his old work shirts and made him a large lap size Faux Cathedral Windows. He won't even let me wash it! It stays on his side of the bed and if it falls off or gets moved--he freaks out! So yes, hubby definitely wants a quilt all to himself. Any little snide comments about how much time & money you spend on quilting will probably stop, also!

I have been quilting 4 years and I haven't ever counted the quilts I've made, I do know it's a bunch. I have done every size from "Over king" to table topper to mini and 4 1/2 inches. I have given many away, I still have tons, and I do lots of Project warmth quilts.

So being happy about that. I also sell one on occassion. BUT!!!!! I still manage to have a handquilted one hanging proudly on a wall in every room in my home and in some rooms up to 4. Different sizes and shapes. I even have three quilt racks with full quilts on board. Not to mention the ones folded and in the CHina/quilt cabinet. Every bed in the house has one with matching pillowcases and shams. I have decided I am a quiltaholic after all. LOL. But when visitors come in from out of town, etc. If they see a quilt they love, it comes down and goes home iwth them. Unless it is a special one to me and made during a certain time in my life.

I started a small notebook to record all the quilts I make with a one line description of the quilt. Takes just a few seconds to write it down but you'll be amazed at the end of the year when you see how many you've done. I also try to take a pic of each quilt.
