Thank you. Knowing this project was practice, I wasn't too concerned as I knew I was practicing using $store doilies. Being a hand quilter, I tend to have 2 or 3 quilts in progress in various stages. Not UFO'S as each one is finished in a timely fashion and when one is completed, I begin working on a new one. At the moment I have 3 works in progress and will finish one up in the next two weeks. In a month, my round robin comes back to me and then I'll again have 3 works in progress. I try to time it out that way and I plan to make 2 quilted sweatshirt jackets between now and October - one is a gift and one for me. Actually I bought the sweatshirts to make two for me and hopefully I'll have the time to do so but if not, I'll get it in 2011 for sure.

I totally agree, plan a project, finish it, move on to the next.
