A generous size throw size.
And I completely empathize. I have close to 20 tops that I'm collecting...trying to get up the desire to actually quilt them. Maybe it is a nerve thing. I want to try FMQ... and not stitch in the ditch. |
oh dear. That would totally stress me out. I'm very goal oriented and crossing things off my "to do" list is what gives me satisfaction.
My boys will tell you the phrase that is banned from our house is "Yes, it's all done EXCEPT" -- that means it is NOT done. The best part about this craft / passion is that there is room for all of us under the quilt of life! |
I can't say I've got a lot of tops hanging around. I enjoy FMQ, so mine all get done up. Wish I had a longarm to do it for others:>

omg. you counted them???? i won't count mine. too depressing. actually have been frozen and unable to sew for a couple of weeks because i keep thinking that i will never get all those tops made into completed quilts and don't want to start new until at least some old has been done. hope this week will be better.
maybe we can get an intervention thing going where someone will come in and take care of them for us. of course, they would have to complete them for us, not just get rid of them. lol keep on keeping on. |
You sure I'm not a granddaughter?? ;)

Your quilts look great. I hope you get the impulse to finish them! |
Since you get them done so fast, I am curious what patterns are you using? Thanks!
Do you have a longarm to quilt them too? |
Did you know that I am your favorite sister?

Well, there are none left to go to charity or to e-bay, but I told them I may be on my deathbed before these all get quilted because I just can't stop making these quilt tops. In the last two weeks I have made 4 tops, quilted only two of them. Oh well, all quilters do this don't they?
