I can always find something else do to, if there isn't a "last minute" deadline on a project. I've been working on a baby quilt for a family baby since Feb. But other projects came ahead of it, because we had an ill church member, and we had the homeless shelter at church for a week (I make fleece blankets for those kids), and I wanted to work on a baby quilt for the church quilting group.
This week, I got my dental cleaning reminder in teh mail. Oops - just the deadline I needed. June 8th, I'll finish the quilt so I can deliver it to my dentist - the baby's daddy. I've already seen the baby at Easter.
I've had red and white fabric waiting for some cutting for another quilt since last year. No rush, because I've got no deadline.
