I have hand-pieced 5 full-size tops this year, and am hand-quilting the second one. Guess I have to stick with quality rather than quantity. And I don't use pre-cuts, so I spend time cutting as well.

You will never be an artist while begging approval from others

Nowhere near what you ladies have done but I've enjoyed making and giving every one. Next year I hope to make (finish) a few for myself.
12 donation quilts, 1 stadium quilt, and 1 lap quilt completed. Some quilt tops made but not quilted yet.

I have done 15 projects. 12 of those were quilts. Got desperate and did a hole bunch for Christmas.

I do believe I had better start keeping track of things . . . I am so bad about doing that.
Be warned. I am BORED.
This could be dangerous.
When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
They are usually 90 degrees.
A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
Have no clue, LOL! Maybe I'd better start keeping track, all I know is how much fun I'm having!
Don't worry if plan A fails, there are 25 more letters in the alphabet!!
Well, every single one of you are ahead of me.... I'm still trying to finish my first one.
(see, some of you made more than you thought you did.....)

Well, this thread got me started counting. I was on a roll with Irish chains in spring, did 5 of them. Two need finishing, one just binding and one bordering, quilting and binding. I made 2 X and O, one is a UFO, MADE 12 quilts for the forum retreat, 4 for the spring PICU delivery, 1 great grand baby D9P quilt that spawned ( haha,!) two more for my tutorial on D9P, plus quilt, 2 tea Cup quilts, one is just blocks right now, 1 Dresden coin (UFO), the Grinch monster, 1 king size JRR for the tutorial I did, but it is not quilted yet, 1 JRR3, 4 JRR2, which I am working on quilting two of them this weekend, found one more D9P in the UFO box. I made about 40 pillowcases, 24 to give to Cyber Elves and PUCU, others to go with quilts. Played around with the Disappearing pinwheel concept, hence more UFOs, also the exploding block, another UFO.
GOSH, THIS IS GETTING TO BE LIKE A CONFESSIONAL!
Let's just say, I spend a lot of my retiree time and definitely my money on quilting and sewing! It brings me great joy to create and it is what I envisioned retirement to be. Thanks for asking about this!
