How many quilt tops do you have that are waitin for the day you find enough energy to make them into actual quilts? :-D
Ok, so here's the thing...I make a LOT of quilt tops, then about once or twice a year, I take my 50% off coupon to JoAnns and buy a whole roll of Warm and Natural batting. Then I go through my stash and find and/or piece backs for about 10 quilts and take them and the batting to church where we have large tables and spend a day pin basting those quilts. Then I come home, set up my Baby Loc QUilters Choice Professional and quilt them all. then I sew the binding strips on and have several evenings' worth of hand work to finish the bindings.
