Fun - the wagon is filling up, but there's always room for more, of course!
I've been thinking about what is needed for me to get fabric out of my stash, and I realize there are a few stumbling blocks that often seem to get in the way of starting fabric-busting projects for me:
1) I see something that could be easily turned into a quilt, such as a panel that just needs a border, backing and binding, but I'm just not in love with it as a project, so it gets put to the side (multiple times for a couple of them) and the fabric remains.
2) I can see the beginnings of a really fun project in a small pile of fabrics that will play well together but there's a good chance that I will run short of those colours/fabrics so will feel the need to go out to get more of something which really isn't the point so the fabric gets tucked away again.
3) I get excited about a potential project based on a fabric or selection of fabrics but then I spend too much time trying to find the perfect pattern to make with it and end up with inspiration overload (overthinking is also one of my "gifts") and there goes the fabric, back in the box!
Honourable Mention: I have a pesky box of a few UFOs that are still in my stash. I do like piecing tops. Finishing quilts is not quite as much fun or physically manageable sometimes and it's very easy to say "I'll work on that later."
I can see some fairly obvious solutions to these issues (mostly just "jump in there and get started"-type ones) and I hope to be able to do just that, but I thought actually putting them down in writing might help me (and others, perhaps) see and avoid the tripping hazards this year. It would be so nice to get some quilted projects done and out the door.
Best of luck to everyone in achieving your goals!
