    Without looking, I think I have about fifteen at the moment. But I probably missed a few.

    So where exactly do you go to find antique quilts?
    Antique shops, garage sales, what?

    i have not personally counted the ones in my house, but here's a confession . . . i change out all my quilts, table toppers, pillow covers, etc. for every season and every holiday. for example, christmas full size quilts just in my living room total 5. i only counted those because i am in this room right now! i really appreciate all the work that goes into them, so i make alot for my house.

    I have way to many . I switch them out from time to time but still have WAY to many. So I decided to go throw them and donate to a returning soilders program. I may have to cut some of them down but at least they wont be just there doing nothing.

    I have one on the bed; five unfinished tops in the closet and one on my sewing table. Tomorrow one will come out of the closet and get loaded on the longarm :D

    I have two on my bed, my three daughters each made the ones on their beds, and my husband was tired of not being able to open the hall closet door (think Jack-in-the-Box), so when I found a china cabinet at Ikea that matched my TV stand that was slightly marred and deeply discounted, I now have a "Quilt Safe" in my living room. The picture is not great, but that gives an idea. I didn't count the box full of table toppers or the quilts on walls and on couches, but I think it could be close to 50 or so. That also does not include the 18 quilt tops waiting for the longarm quilter (me), or the 23 UFOs... I think I may just join the UFO support group on this board.
