I became overwhelmed with big projects a few years ago. I knew a group that would put baby quilts together so I gave them all my matched fabric - tops/bottoms/batting - and they made all the quilts for their organization. What a relief that was!

I rethought the use of the fabric I had left for big projects and switched to smaller projects - tote bags, pillow cases, clothing items for preemies, burp cloths, 1 yd. size quilts, table runners, gift bags, Christmas stockings, etc.

I still do something big every once in a while and I love making quilt tops but I pass them on to someone else to complete. There is always someone or some group that are thrilled to take tops and finish them off and donate them or use them for fund raising.
