I started a small quilt group at my church to show a few ladies how to quilt. Well, one lady wanted to make a shaggy denim quilt from her hubby's jeans. So, we make rag quilts. My mind then begins to think I could make a denim quilt for my 3 children and spouses. Now that's one for my bed and 6 for kids and company.
I say all this to explain, you are not alone. We all have many quilts bouncing in our brains while we are currently working on something else. That is how we get WIP's (work in progress) and UFO's (unfinished objects) in our collections. Don't be tough on your self. Start with something small and simple and work at your own progress. Good Luck. |
You are so not alone. I get all excited about a pattern, buy fabric and then can't decide what to do or can't remember the pattern for the fabric. I drive myself crazy and I am sooo slow. I'm thinking maybe we should start making project bags for all the new pattens and fabric and keep them together. Just a big sigh.

When I retired I thought I was going to get sooo much done, and so far that just isn't happening.

sounds just like me but not just with quilting. When at work I think of all these things I'm going to do then the weekend comes,I have errands to do Then Sunday comes and it is time to get ready for the work week again. :mrgreen:

so if there's something seriously wrong with you, it looks like we are all in good company!! I can start out in the morning and have every intention of getting to the quilting machine, and when 5 comes around, Ive never made it....

He started to make fish hooks and then decided the sun was to hot and he needed to make a hat, when he was making the hat, he decided he needed to find water first, etc etc. In the end he did nothing at all.
Well, I feel like this sailor with my quilting. I have so many projects I want to make, so many patterns I have saved, so much fabric in my stash, that I can't decide which to do first, so in the end I do nothing and spend all my time on this board. How pathetic is that ? |
