ok, well you are making better progress than me for most then.
I have 2 quilts ready for the quilter. But the rest of mine are stil in the block stage not even the top stage. I have 2 sets of blocks here from exchanges on the board I need to get made into tops SOON and one that I started making blocks for WAY BACK but haven't got back to them, I want to get it done and made into a throw size for hubby's chair. I am right now finishing up the blocks for the boomerang exchange and when those are complete I will have 34 more to be put into tops these will probably eventually become donation quilts for a childrens safe house here and then there are those star blocks I'm collecting to make a quilt for my brother's DAV chapter to raffle....wow who has time to quilt? Plus I don't have a machine so I either have to send them all out and have them done (expensive) or tie them as my arthritis won't allow me to wrestle them on my machine. Does anyone else have this problem?

When I start a new project, I can work on it every day with enthusiasm! After the top is together, I run out of interest in getting them finished. I have about 4 right now - just waiting.
Anyone else there?
Anyone else been there and figured out how to get through it?
HELP!!!

I like the actual quilting the best of all. I only piece out of necessity. I am the Queen of Cheater's Cloth. I can make any preprinted panel look like it was carfully hand pieced or appliqued."not". I love collecting fabric and the Linus Project gives me lots of excuses to keep buying, especially kid oriented fabrics. Most of them I make are just a lively kid print with a flannel back and basic machine quilting with a decorative stitch and varigated thread. At this point I have made several hundred of them. I have at least 12 of them ready for this month's contribution. I am a handquilter for hire when someone is willing to pay. I always have a handquilting project in progress that is portable to take to Bee or on our cruises etc. I will piece when absolutely necessary and tear my hair out when I have to assemble someone else's work.
