Early on in my quilting I only kept one. That was the first quilt I ever patchwork pieced. Everything else went to family and friends. That went like that for more than 20 years. Then I started quilting for myself. Now I have a dozen or so around the house for us or for when we have guest. With the pandemic I have been quilting like a mad woman. I am not sure how many I will keep. I know one is now on my bed because DH claimed it while I was making it. I have been doing some swaps right now that will yield me a 3rd quilt to put together. I have another 8 tops finished and one ready for a binding. They may all end up holiday gifts. I haven't decided yet. One thing I know is there are quilts everywhere in this house and I love it.
