You have completed a lot more quilts in a short time than I have done in a couple of years. But like you I am a fabricoholic and my stash is huge, tho not huge compared to others I'm sure.
Great job on all the time you spend creating and finishing your quilts.

Good for you! I started quilting about 20 months ago, and I've finished 18 quilts; only 3 were baby quilts. The rest were all queen, king and 1 twin.
I'm in Kentucky too; Owensboro, KY, western KY on the Ohio River Border.

It is often said that quilting is supposed to be fun, not add more stress to your life. Perhaps finishing off the tops and seeing the finished products would bring some calm from your new found hobby. It would bother me not to have them completely done. I try to finish them off or almost anyway, b/4 starting another. Good Luck on sorting this all out. Enjoy those kids as they are grown and gone, way too soon.

We must be of the same mold. I do exactly the things you do. I have only been quilting since the end of May and have made 11 quilts, 4 of them are queen or bigger. 6 wall hangings and I am now finishing up the 8th table runner for Christmas gifts. I am addicted to fabric have many quilts cut and ready to start. Does all this sound familiar, only difference is I work 3 jobs about 60 hours a week average outside the home. I take care of mentally challenged children, whom are all getting quilts and pillow cases for Christmas. My own children are grown and have families of their own. I also made all 11 grandchildren 2 pair of pjs and pillowcases to match. My friends all think I never sleep, but I do. I also love this site and come here everyday to browse. Thank you all for many wonderful stories, patterns, ideas, and words of encouragement

I love sewing.... I think I have already became obsessed with it. If I'm not cooking, cleaning, tending to the kids, or the husband... I'm sewing... If I'm letting my sewing machine take a break and cool down I'm reading a book or cutting more fabric to sew. I am always doing something I can't stand to not be into something.... Sounds like another confession!

Holy Cow! You've made 15 tops in a year? You must not have a job outside the home. Or they are crib size or smaller. Just wait, your fabric buying seems to get worse the longer you have this hobby (love/obsession). I've been quilting for 10 yrs. and about once a year I redo the boxes my stash is in and move them to larger boxes. The one kind of fabric I have the most of is for OBW's. I've at least 12 hunks for just those. Good Luck!

Is the OBW the same as the quilt in your avatar?
