    Girl if you finished the blocks do not cut them apart. I saw on Simply Quilts a long time ago that it was accepted to even up too small blocks by simply adding a strip of material around the block to make it the same size. Best of luck. I am on my 3rd quilt of Valor.

The more I really didn't want - the more $$$. :wink: Nearly blew an entire lifetime's $$$ on the November trip. ALmost plunked down $$$ for a HandiQuilter Avante 18!!! Common sense got the better of me (darn it!) & I came away without it.

    I am currently finishing up a wall hanging that I started several years ago - worth - um - $100-150. I also get to set the price. No penalty for not finishing on time as I also don't set deadlines. This one is going to be hanging in a Quilt Festival in June - so I have plenty of time to get 'er done. I must admit that this method IS getting things out of the closet and finished.
    Okay, help me get this straight. You finish a project you didn't want to finish and reward yourself with bucks to spend on more fabric. I tell myself I earn Bliss Bucks when I have a really rotten day at school but really that's been just a joke to make myself feel better. Maybe I should follow your lead!

    I am liking your advice a lot. I think this may be the motivator I need. Thanks!
