Do you have a picture of your Slipknot quilt? I am new to the board an apologize if you have posted it before.

I only posted a pic of the top. Currently the t-shirt part have been tied, but the quilting on sashing and borders, the binding, and putting on a hanging sleeve is still left to be done.

Unfortunatly, that's more quilts than I make per year.

I've become a process person, but that's not where I'd like to be. I would like to complete something. But I never seem to have the time to sew. Never have much time for anything productive. Heck, the last few days I've been marking my homemade seed tapes during breaks at work just to have a little extra time to work on them---I must look ridiculious with 15' worth of six inch wide strips of newspaper glued together and marking the seed spacings with the help of a piece of graph paper with holes marked in it.
