Again, these were practice tops, and I was more interested in learning the technique than actually making a quilt, so why beat myself up for not finishing them? I donated a whole bin of quilt blocks to the school so the girls would have blocks already done to sew together. They were very pleased to receive them. The rest of the tops that no one would want, are tops I am using to practice FMQ stitching. That cleaned out my UFO's and gave me an incentive to finish the ones I wanted to finish.
What a wonderful idea you have……..
