I've been caring for my mom for the last few years and I work full time and make only queen size quilts, but still I managed to complete three, and I quilted two tops that I'd made a couple of years ago. Since I was able to complete a quilt start to finish during Christmas, I expect that I'll be able to make a few more this year. I'm already squirreling away some fabric cash for the summer break.

I make 12 to sell and 12 to donate. I have always paid it forward that way. Then I make quilts for daughters,grandchildren,2 favorite aunts and that's all. I think so anyway.I have 1 granddaughter who always wants any pink and purple quilt I'm working on, and 1 granddaught who wants any purple quilt.

I think I made 8 last year. They ranged from super king quilts to baby quilts. I already have 3 tops made for this year.

I don't know if it is consistent but in 2010 I made at least 24 quilts, maybe more. I did 11 of them in a 2 week period.
Most of them were easy quilts with simple patterns and easy machine quilting on them.

It depends on the year. I moved in the middle of last year. After we got moved and I got things unwrecked I finished 3 wall hangings and 2 baby quilts. I also got all the blocks done for a queen size quilt which should get finished next after the current baby quilt gets sent off.

I hate moving. And I get to do it again this year.
