None, unfortunately. Mine are all lap quilts for use on the sofa or wall quilts. I have a dog that sleeps on our beds. I love her dearly and don't want to put myself in the position of having to forgive her for ruining a quilt I've made.

I have a Crossing Paths quilt made by my sister-in-law folded at the foot of our bed. I never made a quilt for our guest bed since, when we move, I'm going to get a queen size bed (currently full) I've got pattern and fabric set aside for the future quilt but I haven't started with it; however, there are quilts hanging and on the rocking chair currently.

I have 4 on my bed. It is getting colder here and DH likes the warmth of quilts.
I have a red/gray/silver one but I forget the name of the pattern. That's next to the sheet. Then a windmill pattern, then a green/brown D9P and on top a Warm Wishes in fall colors. The WW will be taken off after Christmas and I will use my purples/greens Bricks and Cornerstones one as a topper throughout January and February. The other ones will also be taken off and other ones used. I rotate bed quilts throughout the year.
B & C is a pattern by E. Burns and is one of my favorite quilts.

My bed has Grand Illusion and a Yellow Brick Road made in scrappy Christmas prints. The guest room has the first quilt I made, just solid squares alternating with fussy cut parrot prints. I didn’t even know what fussy cutting was then, just that I wanted the entire bird in my little square.

I don't have any on our beds that I have made. I have one on our bed that my mother-in-law made us as a wedding gift 31 years ago and at the foot of the bed is one my grandmother made. The other beds have quilts that my grandmother made on them.
Both of my boys have a quilts on their beds at their houses that I made. They have throws in livingroom that I made and then my grandmothers quilts on the spare bed. I'm glad they enjoy the older quilts and are taking care of them. Usually guys don't care about those things, but my two do.

King sized Tennessee Waltz is on the bed year round, then on cold nights DH and I each have a twin/lap sized that we put on our respective sides (some times he doesn't use one, but I pretty much always use my second even in the summer)
Then each of the girlies Q sized beds have their own quilts (scrap dance and modified whole cloth) and I making a King Sized original loosely based on HSTs with fun borders.... But they will stay on year round also.
The rest of the quilts I have made are usually given away.....

I have a king sized quilt I started last year using the 3 Dudes Amazing Jelly Roll quilt pattern. Its the only quilt I have for that bed. I'm hoping to make another one in a year or so when I'm (hopefully) not working as much.

We have 3 we use on our bed, the View from the Nautilus ocean Bargello is the spring/summer quilt, then I have a fall quilt then when we turn to winter the winter white quilt comes out. It is all white, wool batting flannel one side, regular cotton the other.
