3 more Quilt 4 Kids kits
#1
Received 3 more Quilt 4 Kids kits today, after I mailed my first finished one back last week & requested another one. These are 2 for girls & 1 for boys so I'm really excited. I have a friend's twin sized quilt all sandwiched & ready to FMQ, then will get onto these 3 new kits soon. I'm one who has to have 6 or 7 projects going or I don't finish anything...anyone else like that???

I always have a lot of projects going at one time...also have a lot of UFO's. But they all get done eventually...mostly. There always seems to be exciting waiting to be tried.

I have one quilt 4 kids kit that is pieced and have started the quilting on, am planning on making one from my stash and will request another kit when I send in these two. I also have a baby quilt in flannel (quilt as you go), and am starting a quilt for my FIL that I got the fabric for just before Christmas....I also work on several things at once. When I get bored with one, I can go to another.

I am currently working on my first Quilt for Kid and seriously doubt whether I will do another. I don't know who does the fabric cutting for these kits but there is a need for some serious re-education. Not one of the 6 1/2 squares was square or 6 1/2 inches. The 2 3 1/2 strips were not accurate and wonky. The fabric was a good quality Robert Kaufman however. I had to spend much of my quilting time resizing the pattern and recutting all the fabric. Is this a frequent occurance or a fluke?

I have several projects going on at once too usually. I like to sew a while, then do a bunch of pressing, then sew again, then press again. You get the idea. My iron shuts itself off, plus I don't like to leave it on because of the nosy cats so it's much easier to just do a bunch of pressing all at once.
