How funny!!I retired 2 years ago and I still have not got to sew like I want to.>>It seems there is always something else that has to be done...but I have 5 ready to build...some of them are next years quilt show...so I have to get busy on them...I think we try not to remember the count so we can still keep looking at the patterns and fabric:) I try not to buy more fabric till needed...good luck..
