After severaly big projects in a row I am thinking of taking a break and making tablerunners, showercurtains and small gifts. Who is with me lol?? When you handquilt monsterous quilts it can be a chore no matter how lovely the finished project may be....

Sometimes, I need the more instant gratification of finishing something quickly and being able to use/ enjoy the results. I'm with you :-)

I'm thinking after finally coming out from under this mammoth Military Barracks Quilt Project, I'll only want to make wraps for my Coke bottles and glasses. And just sit and read!

I put the final touches on an oversized queen log cabin quilt last night. I'm thinking some wallhangings or throws would be a nice change.
