    Only one and it is the one I made for my DH just after we got married in 2009, finished it in May 2010. I have a few finished tops(for me so far (LOL)) that are not quilted and currently working on a French Braid. So that would make 6 for myself if I don't give them away first (LOL).

    Oh yes! Both of my kids have at least four quilts of various sizes. I'd have to say they like the ragged flannels the best--my son has one, daughter has two, hubby has one. Right now my son and his new wife live in a trailer, so most of their quilts are here being stored until they are ready for them all. Oh--they both have their ragged flannels. :wink: My daughter is in her last semester of college, so has "Kayak on the Lake" here until she's in her own apartment. I have tow quilts I rotate on my bed, a fall log cabin--one ot the top two favorties I've ever made--and a spring color one. Hubby has three quilts on his bed--(now that the kids are gone we each have our own bedrooms due to snoring, etc) his CW, his ragged, and another one I made he loved. So--yup--no cobbler's kids here. Everyone is covered under lots and lots of loving stitches.

    Every time I make a quilt I ask the daughters if either wants it first--then I decide if I'll offer it for sale.

    We also have three lap quilts on the couches... but I prefer the afghan my daughter made me. :wink:

    I'll post a few pics--but skip the ragged flannels...

    Thanks! I called it 'scrappy' but control freak that I am, I had to put some order in it then the red and cream HSTs to unify it. :-D I got the idea for the pattern from Quiltville I think. :-D

    lol Nope. Not a single bed has a quilt in my house. I HAVE made one for my son's bed, but he's still in a crib and sleeps with a fleece sleep sac...I made THAT, though...does that count? lol He'll get his quilt on his bed when he graduates to a toddler bed. His quilt is on the floor in his little play nook for the time being.

    I'm working on one for my husband, have fabric for one for me (we sleep with separate blankets in bed), and have fabric for a bed quilt for my daughter. I'm getting there. lol.

    There is one on the couch, though. The first one I made. :) The one my daughter (5yo) and I did together is just a small snuggle quilt for her. She sometimes wants in in bed, sometimes not, but it's far from a bed quilt.
