How many of you live with unfinished quilts haunting you? Mine pop out of the most random places to haunt and torment me. Like the other nite, I was inspired suddenly to begin a wonky log cabin quilt with some bright and fun prints and I had a few fun pinks I thought would do nicely in this quilt. So, I head to the stash in my fabric closet and 2 quilts just waiting to be quilted fall from the top shelf onto my head. Seriously. And then, as I'm grabbing the pink I see another quilt that was just waiting for binding (ummm... from months ago) staring at me with a wistful expression. Yes, quilts can have wistful expressions. They can also have angry expressions and crazy eyes. Much like the one dangling from a coat hanger next to me. Kinda scary. Needless to say, I grabbed that pink and practically ran from my sewing stash, closing the door firmly behind me. I don't think I'll be going back in there again until I decide to finish one of those poor little souls.
Anyone else have a regretful amount of UFO's lying about? How do you deal with them? I know I should finish them up before I start another new one but it's just so much fun to start new projects! Maybe I'll make myself a goal not to start another new quilt until I finish at least 5 of these UFO's hanging around. Well, after I finish the fun bright log cabin quilt I just started yesterday. Actually, that's a UFO now. After all, I did start it already...
