the status of my quilt cupboard


45 quilts

this does not include the ones I have hanging on the walls (3)
or the ones that are on our beds (4)

just a side note, several of these are in use in our home at any given time. I rotate several of them periodically, especially the lap quilts.

  1. Your cupboard is almost full - what are you going to do when it is full? Love seeing all your quilts - what great inspiration!

  2. They look lovely like that with just peeks of fabric showing. Like a magazine cover would.

  11. cab,

    most of them are probably lap size
    and all of the ones on the bottom are baby, so they would be the second most plentiful.

    I don't know how many of them I have given away, but I have made about 80 quilts now, baby size or larger.

  14. cab,

    I forgot to answer your second question....I think standard baby size quilt is 45" x 60", but you can make it any size you would like. personally, I wouldn't go much smaller than 36" square.

    ReplyDelete
  52. So. Are they always so tidy and neatly stacked? Or was this special for the camera? ;)

    I always like the look of my linens when I finish folding and stacking them up, but, inevitably, with use, they tend to get skaddy-wampus!

    Thanks for sharing your delightful cupboard!
