It does not matter how many quilt tops you have. You have fun making them, maybe learn a new technique. If they are not heirloom quality, have them machined quilted. And if you don't ever quilt them, think what a treasure someone will find among your effects.

Lots and lots, but I give them to a group of ladies that finish them and give to those in need.
The ones I give to them are just strip or crazy quilts. Nothing fancy.
I just got me a Janome 6600, :thumbup: so now am trying to get some quilted in time for Christmas. The hand quilting is to hard on my eyes and fingers anymore. ;)

Well, here's the thing: my ideas for tops come faster than I can quilt. As it is, I've already forgotten what quilts I had in mind when I bought the fabric. So when an idea hits me, I get to cutting, etc. "One of these days" I'll get to the quilting.
