I also tell those who don't care. :) Sometimes I start more than one new project...

Take several pictures, write out the label, update my list of the quilt details, and a dish of chocolate ice cream (if I have some in the house).

I take pics, upload here and on facebook and get then clean my sewing room. It is always a mess at the end of a project.

I take pictures then start on my next quilt.

It is so nice to be able to post a pic of it on here and everyone let's you know they appreciate your efforts and gives you encouragement to start another one. I love to see all of the quilts on here and everyone is so nice and helpful. So I to take a picture and post it. Thank you all for the advice and encouragement .

I walk over and stick in the washer! :D
Then I go to bed, either for the night or for a nap.:o

Celebrate finishing a quilt? Never thought of it before. I suppose it is good for the self-image. Celebrating my own accomplishments! Yeh! This is a good idea. I usually have 3 or 4 I'm working on. So onto the next. And they usually have a deadline, no time to celebrate. But yes, this is a good idea. Give myself a pat on the back.

I think I will hang it in a prominent place in the house. Take a pic and post it here. Take a walk to loosen up the body and do some thinking. Take a break to do something I've neglected to get this done. Then ASAP go onto the next happy project. (As to UFO's, for me quilting is therapy, not a punishment. So if i'm no longer interested or don't like it, I give myself permission to discard it.)

take photo's, tuck it away until I find a home for it, sort out my sewing room, and start a new one. You must take into consideration that the act of sorting sewing room includes glasses of wine, confetti, 3 cheers for a job well done, calls and e-mails to assorted friends and family. and a well deserved nap! LOL

I'm with Mooshie, pics to my quilt buddies and my sis, maybe one on here get it ready for giving if its leaving home, clean up my sewing room and start another project!

Your way of celebrating is probably the exuberant I have heard. I usually just have a feeling of relief, then dismay because of the shape my sewing room is in. So I plunge in, clean it up, put everything away and then stand back and enjoy the looks of the new quilt and the room being clean. At that point I start dragging out fabric and magazines to start a new quilt.
