Well I worked on it all day long and it is done... but not perfect.

Small hole in one of the seams where it pulled away and wont line up.... BUT I AM GOING TO USE A FAVORITE FIX... A PINK RIBBON ( SAME AS THE BREAST CANCER LOGO) will be appliqued on it as soon as it is out of the dryer. ( I always wash and dry my quilts before I give them away.

I had the DARNEST time getting it square but a friend who is an expert quilter has helped me with that... Ran out of time with the binding and ended up machine quilting it on...

Now that I have some time to relax and it is not weighing my down... I AM BEGINNING TO LIKE THE DANG THING... I WILL LIKE IT THE MOST WHEN IT IS OUT OF MY HOUSE.

LADY RAGS.

I convince myself that I can't work on anything else until it is done.

When I have a project that I've procrastinated, and I really do want to get it finished, I will write it on my calendar, as if it's an appointment that I must keep. When the day/time comes, I JUST DO IT!! If I don't get it finished on the assigned day, I'll assign another day on my calendar, and work on it again until it's done.
I can't wait to "find" time to do it....it won't happen!! I need to "make" time to do it.

Sorry can't help as I have the same problem. Volunteered to quilt a top which my friend (deceased) made. Have procrastinated starting it for a year. They finally started it in July...but ran into problems trying to pin it as it wasn't square. Took me time to decide to remove the borders and then block it. I finally blocked it today...and currently waiting for it to dry. But don't know whether I'll continue or procrastinate more...

I believe those become UFO's. BTW, that is a beautiful quilt. Judy in AZ

This is the quilt I am talking about... been like this for two weeks... YOU would think I could get motivated especially for a worthy deadline... but NO not me. The picture is fuzzy cause I had a dirty lens but I do not have time to play with it.

Back to my original questions... HOW DO YOU STOP PROCRASTINATION.

LADY RAGS.

How do you CONQUER PROCRASTIONATION ????
I have made a quilt I am suppose to finish by this Thursday ( long story, but not for here) It was a bargello sew and flip pattern that has given me nothing but FITS! I have the borders on BUT do not want to do the machine quilting required to finish the quilt. Been playing all day on the internet and doing busy work to avoid finishing this quilt.

I tried working on it several times but gave up after a few more problems / tension difficulties developed... I swear the thing is cursed.

Anyways I was wondering what you ladies do to get over procrastionation blues.

Thanks

Picture on my blog...the July 18th post. That is the start of the quilt. I now have all the squares on and a 6 inch boarder... Made a large sofa throw. I will try to post an updated picture.

One small area I am going to applique a breast cancer ribbon over where the seam came apart... I miss sewed.

I am going to work on it today cause it has to be ready tomorrow if I want to raffle it off.... I did not tell anyone I was doing this so if it does not get done.... I was thinking of giving it to the co worker with Cancer.
