    Default All my UFOs are finished... what's wrong with me???

    I finished my last UFO 5 days ago. I'm going nuts! It's like that dream you have where you're walking down the aisle at church totally naked. Or like handing out the last piece of chocolate cake and there isn't enough left for you. I'm seriously in need of therapy now.

    I've never been completely, entirely finished quilting before. Here is my last quilt top, made for my Aunt Louise:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]495133[/ATTACH] This is the outer border

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]495134[/ATTACH]

    I chose this fabric because of the childrens book illustrations from the 1950s. She is a wonderful mother, and does so much for her family. And a prayer warrior in the extreme!

    But this feeling of being finished with nothing to do is driving me nuts....

    Don't you have a bucket list? Do you have some organizing that needs to be done? And the last but most important question---Where do you live (close to me I hope)? I can help you with plenty of UFOs to keep you busy for years and years!

    I want to be where you are--congratulations! I'm going to try to finish all mine up before winter break. I'd like to do something new without unfinished projects calling to me.

    I can't imagine the feeling of being free of UFO's. Nor can I imagine that I'd feel like going nuts. I would feel light and airy and full of promise, like a butterfly who just discovered her wings after being stuck in a cocoon! Hmm, maybe I need to get more serious about my "cocoon" . You have inspired me to just BE FREE !! LOL. Thanks!

    Oh, Christine- no fret , pm me your address and you can finish some of my UFO's. LOL. I'm sure there are many here on the board whom would love to be in your shoes. Just think of all the new patterns and fabrics you have yet to discover. You are so blessed. Love the quilt picture and the fabric. So vintage.

    You're welcome Zozee! LOL! I can't let this go on much longer, I hear a stack of quilting magazines calling me... and with a stash bustin' out of the seams maybe I can find something to cut into by midnight?

    Whatever is wrong with you, my husband hopes I catch it. He doesn't begrudge the fabric purchases. Just wishes I'd finish some.
