Unfinished Projects

I have actually finished one of those UFP's I am always talking about.  That full size quilt that has needed binding for the past year.  It is done.  I am so pleased with myself for getting it done.  There is a huge satisfaction in finishing a project that has been hanging over your head. 

It was such a good feeling that I am actually finishing another 3 year project.  It is a wall hanging that needed quilting and binding.  I had actually stopped working on it to make the other quilt.  I am down to binding it now.  Then I will finish the last 3 strips of the chevron quilt and get that top pieced.  I also need to finish the bronchitis quilt. 

It seems that since I have started working out and losing weight I have a lot more energy in the evening and I actually work on things.  Also my studio is not quite as messy as it has been.  I am working on getting things put away and finished off.  That makes it easier to sit down and work.

I did go back to that fabric store this week.  Twice actually.  I thought it was going to close on Friday and went and got some beautiful stuff for my stash.  I then found out that it would be open on Saturday.  I took my friend Michelle and we both got a lot of stuff to add to our stashes.  I really need to get my stashes organized. 

Tatianna is planning out quilts to make and she has already decided on the next one.  7 different colors of 4 inch squares.  She is talking 7 fabrics but I think it will look better if she uses at least twice that many.  It would be a very nice scrappy quilt. 

TaKayren is still on the idea of  10 inch squares all different fabrics for her quilt. She is only doing it to finish off a YW value project. 

I already have 3 or 4 projects in the making and 5 or 6 more planned.  I really need to finish these off.  I especially need to start using my stash and get some of this stuff out of the kids' rooms.  Plus get some of the stuff out of the way in the studio. 

Oh the plans, I have planned.  We will see how fast I can make them happen.
