2 christmas quilts one i started 6 years ago, have 6 of 15 blocks done, one i started 2 years ago...it is hanging in the sewing room in sections. see how i'm rambling...i'm so overwhelmed...i dont' know where to start. i am going to start with going out & fixing some new year's breakfast...then take a nice long shower, then go into the sewing room and just ... start cleaning i guess...if i really go through stuff and put away and box up to give away maybe i will be able to put together a list and start the new year off right :thumbup:
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ! I MIGHT STOP BACK BY LATER WITH A PROGRESS REPORT :-D
ckcowl, yes it can be overwhelming, hence the need to organize. I think you've got your answer and stratedy already! It sounds like the 8 children's quilts are a priority and the quilts in need of binding, then the quilts needing quilting & binding, then working on your boms.
I think if you can tackle these projects first, you're doing great! After that I"m sure you'll find the rest that are hiding from you now.
You've got your projects lined up already!
Go get 'em. Remember it's easier to finish the ones that are closest to completion first. Work on the quilts needing bindings today! And post a pic!
