I have found so many tops that need to be quilted, blocks that came from all over the world from a yahoo email group she once belonged to. I've finally decided to just get rid of any partially done projects that don't have the rest of the pieces nearby. I haven't quilted myself since she died and I have plenty of stash myself so I can't take on most of it. I think you are all smart to be thinking about thinning out your quilt rooms now. Mom just thought she had more time to do it

Life, and death, are unpredictable.
Im there too and its odd. Part of me is like "This is the quilter's dream. I have everything I could want" and part of me is just trying g to figure out what I have and make sense of it all. I have no clue how to approach it with discernment yet a d actually make decisions on what I will and won't use.
