How many quilt tops do you have that are waitin for the day you find enough energy to make them into actual quilts? :-D
I have one quilt top to finish...I just hate to "sandwich" and finish the quilts. Lots of quilters feel the same way. There 's nothing fun or creative to finishing the quilt...that's my justification for having that beautiful Log Cabin quilt top neatly folded and on a hanger in the closet!!! It's supposed to be a large wall hanging and my husband is wondering when he's going to get the request to put up the hardware!!!! I haven't tied any of my quilts. The ones I finished I hand quilted (baby size) without a hoop, but pinned it like crazy. The other quilt I stitched in the ditch...not as easy as I thought it would be.
Just don't feel guilty about not getting around to making the tops into actual quilts...seems to be a very common trend.
