I can’t even begin to count how many projects that I have in progress, in process, in bags, in my sketchbook, in my head. The mind is swimming! The start of a new year brings many quilters trying to sort out what to finish. I’ve been thinking about this and it raises the question…”Do I NEED to finish them all????” Well, the promised gifts and upcoming baby showers are a must! Then rest…if I am not in love with them, theey may just need to go away. No, not in the trash but gifted to another quilter who might enjoy them. Or “break apart” that kit that might never happen and use the fabric in other projects.

#1 – Just because you bought it doesn’t mean you have to finish it.

#2 – A wise friend once told me….”you may have learned all you needed to with making one block.” Who says you have to turn it into a quilt?

Here is my stack of some of the Hexie Speak quilts from new book. It took a while to finally finish. It was worth it! May your stacks be heavy on the DONE and light on the in progress!!

in quilting,
