This is such an interesting thread! I think I've finished about 14 quilts, most bed sized. I've kept about two-thirds of them, but my kids are young and still at home so I'm counting their quilts in the kept total.
My SIL recently moved from 2+ hours away to 5m away. She's my sister from another mister. She admired an unfinished quilt earlier this year when we had a craft day together -- you better believe that became a house warming gift! It was wonderful for the quilt to find its owner that way.
