I have a UFO that's been hanging around in my closet in block form for 2 years -- 24 completed 30's print Dresden Plate blocks and a pile of strip blocks for a piano key border to match it. I never could make up my mind how I wanted to set the blocks. Well, I just plunged in and completed the top this past weekend. Of course, "it" kept whispering to me, "You know I need to be hand-quilted, 'cause you're not skilled enough just yet to do me justice with your machine quilting." (The 10 snow white Kona blocks with nothing appliqued on them were really making noises about wanting some fancy stuff on them.)
So I'm going to set myself a reasonable goal of quilting 2 blocks each month by hand, since I'm really slow. That way I can speed several other projects and not get discouraged. I won't be finished by next January, but by summer of 2011 I will.
