That's why I have three projects (minimum) going on at once.
I currently am working on a QAYG flip flop/sandals theme quilt (my first QAYG)--just finished the blocks--not have to go read about how to join them, a snowball with green and flowers (both of which were ideas from others here on this board) and a couple of Irish chains.
Then, when I don't feel like doing anything else, I'm sewing scraps onadding machine tape. Also, I'm trimming 6" half square triangles (light/dark) down to 5" and with which I hope to make a neat looking scrappy top someday.
