How many quilts have I made altogether? List them.

Question

A good answer

The count can be read off, the list cannot. Her quilt book is numbered, and the last finished one is no. 54 (June 2026), so fifty-four. But the notes only begin in 2011 and describe twenty-two of them - nos. 31, 33, 35 and 36 to 54. No. 29 (Hannah's ducks) is mentioned in passing, "Dorothy's Aprons" appears in a 2017 show note without its number, and nos. 32 and 34 and everything before 29 have no note at all. A good answer gives fifty-four as what the numbering implies, lists the ones that are described, and says plainly that the rest are not in the account. It does not invent the missing ones.
