Great quilts Lorna

Lorna, What a good idea for all those pins. Much better to have them out of the drawer where you can see them. I love both of those quilts!

I am loving all these quilts. Thanks for showing yours Lorna. I like that Show Pin Wall Quilt. I have thought it would be fun to collect those pins and that would be a great place to put them.

Funny you should say that Lorna because this afternoon I put them, along with lots of unwanted clothing in some bags to take to the clothing bank. I am sure somebody somewhere will get a kick out of some of them! Love all your quilts. Maybe the suitcases won't be so heavy when you do eventually relocate next time - although, all those green FQs....

Thanks!

Marilyn, I think that is my story too. I love trying new and different things. And I do have several projects going at various stages. I always like to have some hand project too for times like now when I want to spend some time in front of theTV watching the Olympics. (I finished the binding by hand on the 2 larger quilts and sewed the labels on.) It's all fun.

Rita, I think it has been said before on the forum. Get rid of projects you are "done" with. Have you learned what you wanted to out of it? Then either give it away or make placemats or purses or something. Don't feel you have to finish it or keep it. I did get rid of several things in that category before moving.

Lorna,
Wonderful quilts!

(and yet again, )

Lorna... some of us just plain like to piece...I like to move from project to project so as not to be tired of any one
or to change types of handwork, etc. always want to try some new idea...or join a new group... This way I have
things in all stages and I can do what ever strikes my fancy ! Well..that's my story and I'm stickin' to it !!
Your finished quilts are great !! Love that wedding ring !

Marilyn,

It's embarassing, but I think I have a similar stack of UFOs that I have carried across the ocean to hopefully finish. Somehow over the last few years I started way more projects than I finished. When I started quilting the HST exchange quilt, I realised I hadn't quilted anything in a long time. So immediately after finishing that one and while I was still in the rhythym, I started quilting on a vintage double wedding ring quilt top that I bought at an auction at my last guild in 2010. A friend had basted it for me on her long arm so it was just waiting for me to quilt it.

I also finished a Show Pin Quilt hanging that I made from a kit I bought at the Cherrywood booth in Houston a few years ago. I had to finish piecing it and quilt it. It's ready to hang now.

My daughter had asked me to make a quilt for her best friend's baby. The sweet baby girl is one now. My daughter was coming to visit so I quickly tried to finish it before they got here so they could take it home in their suitcase and I could save the postage. I was close, but didn't quite get it done in time. The pattern is Modern Baby and came in the mail.

It feels so good to get these done! I am also almost finished quilting another lap size top also! Just working on the border.

Thanks ! Gee..I should'a cropped a little better !

Rita, Thanks for being an extra pair of eyes for me. Maybe I need that surgery.

Marilynn, congratulations on all those ribbons. Maybe there will be a few more attatched to some of those UFO's in the future. Way to go!

Marilyn, that is a mighty fine lookin' pile of quilts. And don't think I haven't notices the ribbons hanging on the wall beside them. For me it's more the pile of half-botched quilts that I really don't know what to do with. I've only got about 6 or 8 quilts that will eventually get finished. I have done nothing else but make spool blocks for the past few days - about 50 done and only 32 to go!

Well, I have decided that I need to get more done than I am but to do that I need to not get interested in any more big quilts. I need to stick to little quilts and finish the ones I have. I will also say that I have NO comparison to your impressive UFO stack, Marilyn.
