The way I make quilts, I don't end up with orphan blocks or quilt tops waiting....
I always have a certain quilt all planned out for a certain person. My husband does all the math for me, and we always end up with the amount needed.
I'd like to make quilts just to make them, but with a 3 1/2 yr old, 2 1/2 yr old, & 4-month old, I don't have time for anything not already assigned.
