I think that is great. I make however many I happen to make, when I feel like it or need a gift, or sometimes just feel like doing a lap quilt or baby quilt becuz a particular pattern appealed to me at the time. So...........it varies.

I think my club made 25 this year. 24 lap size, then one full for the Habitat for Humanity house. There are only 7 of us or so. I think it's great from start to finish.
Last year I made 1 60" one on consignment, one longer than lap throw for the boy scout leader, and my big queen size is now finished, finishing the binding on that this week. I also completed a baby top, but didn't start the quilting on it until last weekend. I did start two child quilts too, but not a lot of progress yet. I also bought what I needed last weekend for another baby quilt. I also finished 4 small sewing organizer projects.
I always try to make 1 big and important project, then other smaller projects as they come up throughout the year. I am a full time worker. Then I have 3 boys at home, one disabled, and I'm actively involved in my sons' Cub Scout pack. That all adds up to equal NO TIME FOR ANYTHING!!!

My grandma taught me the devil finds work for idle hands. Bet you all heard the same thing.
