Thread: Got To Crow

Congratulations on finishing those UFO's. I'm in the middle of making an applique and pieced baby block; you'd think that having made one in a full size quilt for our DGD, that I wouldn't make another one, but I am. This one, however, is a much smaller quilt and I'm eliminating the dragonflies, only leaving flowers, hearts, pinwheel blocks and last but not least, 2 variations of applique butterflies. I know, glutton for punishment, however, this is for the DGD of a dear friend, and we have been friends since before her son was born, then Alyssa came along; she's a real sweetheart, so I feel I should make her a special quilt. Besides, I had the strips all ready sewn and ready for the appliques, plus the squares were cut for the pinwheel blocks, so about half the work is already done.

Sounds like you got alot accomplished. Good job and I know what you mean about feeling good about getting some things done. Right now, I am sort of stuck with a quilt I have on my LA and fixing my mystery BOM, so I sat down and finally made myself a pincushion thread catcher so I would at least have my Jan project done for a 12-4-12 challenge I am doing with one of my quilt guilds.

Can you pat yourself on the back while crowing at the same time? Reward = Gold stars on the fridge.

Good for You!!! It always feels good to get some things completely done and out of the way.

Good for you! You've inspired us with the progress you've made. Finishing little projects is like paying off credit cards , starting with the one with the lowest balance. Once it's paid off, the relief is its own reward and definitely motivates you to pay off the next.
