Here is the problem, which I think I have finally discovered since writing part 1<\/a> of this post. I move too fast in the quilting\/sewing world to have lingering UFOs.<\/p>\n

I wrote last time about needing to finish or abandon these projects because I needed the brain space. Also, I need to finish these projects because I am always on to the next idea. Today I was desperately trying NOT to think about the ColorBlock design<\/a>. My whole afternoon sounded like this in my head:<\/p>\n

Voice in my head #1: “hhhmm, what if I were to use a layer cake”<\/p>\n

Voice in my head #2: “stop that! No new projects!”<\/p>\n

VIMH#1: “I could calculate yardage for using a layer cake OR a jelly roll strip because they have about the same amount of yardage”<\/p>\n

VIMH#2: “do you see the work on your desk? Budget? Contract? 12 phone calls needing to be returned?”<\/p>\n

And on and on it went all afternoon. Finally, on the train home, I just calculated yardage. VIMH #2 is off for the weekend anyway. But this is how it goes! I have to get busy and do these WIPs. I really can’t imagine not having any WIPs, but it is good to have goals.<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

Here is the list, in no particular order:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stars for San Bruno #2: finishing up binding and pleat on the back needs to be fixed. I am thinking of a heart.<\/li>\n
  2. Stars for San Bruno #3<\/a>: I need to start sewing the stars together.<\/li>\n
  3. Pavers<\/del>. Finished<\/a>! YAY!<\/li>\n
  4. Food Quilt<\/a>: needs quilting, backing and binding.<\/li>\n
  5. Jelly Roll Race<\/a>: this quilt does not have good design. I am thinking of cutting it into different shapes and using the shapes for something else. I could make a bunch of interesting 9 patches.<\/li>\n
  6. Original Bullseye: needs border, backing, quilting and binding.<\/li>\n
  7. Corner Store: foundations cut; blocks not made<\/li>\n
  8. Spin Wheel: really not started, but supplies gathered.<\/li>\n
  9. Infinity blocks<\/li>\n
  10. A-B-C (A-Z) BAMQG Challenge<\/a> – I am actually not sure if this should be considered a WIP, because I don’t really have enough blocks with which to make anything yet.<\/li>\n
  11. Aqua-Red Sampler<\/a> – steady progress and isn’t really weighing on my mind, except for the fact that Frances<\/a> has still not finished her Dresden Plate. What am I going to do with her?<\/li>\n
  12. The Tarts Come to Tea<\/a>: I haven’t quilted on this since April. I need to work on the quilting. I was making good progress and then got sidetracked.<\/li>\n
  13. Kissy Fish: nearly finished, but I keep on fiddling with the embroidery and hand stitching.<\/li>\n
  14. FOTY 2011: not finished with cutting. Plan to sew at the end of January 2012.<\/li>\n
  15. Flowering Snowballs: I think this is a candidate for abandonment. Hand piecing doesn’t do anything for me and I am bad at it. I think I should make an effort to square up the blocks before I completely abandon the project.<\/li>\n
  16. Garden<\/li>\n
  17. Flower Garden<\/li>\n
  18. Moon and Stars: need to finish handquilting. This quilt is not interesting.<\/li>\n
  19. Pointillist Palette #4<\/li>\n
  20. See: needs satin stitching.<\/li>\n
  21. Self Portrait<\/li>\n
  22. Spiderweb<\/li>\n
  23. Under the Sea: class project; like the design, but not the colors much.<\/li>\n
  24. Pineapple: horrible mess. None of the ideas I have to salvage this project make me happy.<\/li>\n
  25. Flower Sugar Hexagon<\/a><\/li>\n
  26. Young Man’s t-shirt quilt: have cut up the t-shirts and am in the process of applying fusible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A lot of this is excerpted from the WIP post I am compiling so I can post at the end of the year or the WIP post I posted at the end of 2010<\/a>. Do you read these or are they too boring?<\/p>\n

    Ok, Officially, I, now, have 25 projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
