How many of you quilt your own quilts?

I like to quilt my own. I did send one out to be quilted and Charismah did a beautiful job. I have a Mega Quilter with a HQ frame. I have only done meandering/stippling on them but I'm practicing other stuff now. I hope to get a larger throat machine soon which I think will be easier to do larger patterns. Cutting isn't my favorite part but it has to be done to get to the fun parts.

I quilt my own too! After I spend that much time and money on putting a quilt together, I want to be the one to finish it. I am not a professional, but I do have a short-arm and frame where I do FMQ with limited space, since my throat is only 9". I have had it since March and can really see my progress. I love learning a new skill!
I enjoy every step of the quilting process and try to have something going in all stages so that I can work on whatever I am in the mood to do at that time.

Only two so far that I didn't finish. One was for a raffle and I needed help past the SID which a QB member graciously gave. The other was a 30s left-over quilt that needed an overall quilt design and I knew I would not do it justice. SO I had it long-armed. Everything else I do.
