Last year my husband asked, Do we know anyone who is having a baby? I thought for a moment and said not that I know of why are you asking? His reply, I want a warmer quilt for my truck ( he is a truck driver) and I don't want to get bumped. I laughed but he was serious. I have several quilts in progress but we are both from big families and someone is always having a baby and the quilts on my list always are pushed to the back and the new baby quilt gets bumped to the front. I did get his quilt finished before winter. One year I actually wrote a list of what I had in process. My guild did a finish 5 this year. We had to list 5 quilts we had started already, list where we were on each quilt and have them done and show them at a show and tell meeting before December. I made a list of each quilt I had in process and wrote at the side when I wanted it finished so that I could finish the 5 by our December meeting. It really helped to have the date to the side I knew when I need to have that quilt done. It keep me on task.
