In your books do you by chance have Advancing on II With A Square in a Square? Or any of the other Square in a Square books?

I just have one. I do have a lot that have been cut and ready to put together. Once I get it together I always want to see it quilted.

At least 6 that I can think of. I don't hand quilt my own but send them out to be machine quilted. If I could afford it I'd send them out immediately so they hang in the closet until I can afford it. I don't want to stop making them to catch up so on it goes...

I'm following a pattern so some of it is ditch quilting and some of it isn't. I don't like the ditch quilting. It's hard to make the stitches small and it's hard to pull the needle through.

I guess I am an oddball but I don't have any at the moment! I like to work on one project at a time and am pretty good at finishing them!

If I could find them all I probably have between 25 and 50 tops ready to quilt. I quilt by hand so it takes a lot longer plus got started making tops and couldn't seem to find time to quilt. I thought long-armers would never have any to pile up, so you all keep me from feeling lazy.

I still have about 10 but just got a used Voyager 17 longarm and Hinterberg stretch frame about 5 months ago. I do not know why more ladies don't go together and purchase a frame and share the cost. I love hand quilted quilts but to have one DONE and ready to give is thrilling!
