Hhhhheeeeeelllllllllpppppppppppp! I'm drowning in projects!
PS
Don't you just love 'bad Sue?' Oh, the possibilities!

Yvonne, I made a set of New Year's Resolutions where my quilting is concerned. One of my resolutions was to finish 3 projects for every new one I start. I'm beginning to think that was a bit ambitious and I should pare it down to finishing 2 projects before starting 1. Still, I find that I am getting projects done, some of which are UFO's from the early 90s. Perhaps this will work for you. ;)

Bad Sue??? I'm going to have to go take a look at those links!

No Yvonne, I think your little "Sue" is darling. I love the fabric. I'm anxious to do this block, I love applique. Thanks for choosing this block for us to work on.

I am so glad to hear that you want to make a Sue block. Quilters have such a 'love/hate' relationship with Sunbonnet Sue I was afraid she'd be boycotted! :lol: I have grown to really like the block so I thought perhaps I could convert a few 'haters' into 'lovers'!

Tiffany, I am going to try to follow your excellent example and start finishing a few things around here. I finished my two mini quilts this week. Do they get to count as two projects finished??? :lol:

Well Yvonne I have never done applique before, but am gonna give it a try.
My Mother had made a Sunbonnet Sue twin size quilt for my youngest daughter when she was little. I have always loved that pattern.
Thanks for choosing that block and giving me a time to think back of tucking my daughter (now 29) in under her granny's quilt.

I have 3 roaster pans of Scrabble/Nuts and Bolts/Guck/Chex Mix in the oven as I write this so I'll bring it to the whine and cheese, veggies and dip party!
