I have 20 to 30 too. About 10 I made with vintage tops found at thrift stores, antique stores and ebay. I love the old tops and keep the finished quilts. Whenever one of my 6 kids comes to visit I send quilts home with them.

Loved reading the responses to the question. My list is small but I feel interesting....
1. An old star one that I am not sure is my mother made it or if one of my grandma's did, however it is falling apart & packed away.
2. The last one my mother had quilted Friendship Plume it is over 55 years old.
3. Robbing Peter to Pay Paul made my my mother before she passed away in 1973, not used much.
4. Grandma's Flower Garden made all my hand my mothers mother's sister, top only. Having to replace some of the small pieces that had moth holes in it.
5. A table runner that a friend made as a gift for me.
6. A couple little doll blankets that I made as a little girl(I started sewing at the age of 5)
7. A crib blanket I embroidered, pieced & machined quilted, again as a little girl.
Just finished appliqueing an Hawaiian Breadfruit Leaf motif on a small block & hand quilted. Needs a border. A larger one basted called Sweetheart, again Hawaiian motif.
Thats it --- but have lotssssss of ideas from the quilting board. Thank You I do enjoy looking here.
