Well, there are none left to go to charity or to e-bay, but I told them I may be on my deathbed before these all get quilted because I just can't stop making these quilt tops. In the last two weeks I have made 4 tops, quilted only two of them. Oh well, all quilters do this don't they?

I saw the picture of your last stained glass quilt and it is so beautiful. How many hours does it take you to make one and can an intermidiate quilter make one with out going nuts? I would love to make one for my DH. We feed the birds all the time.

Your quilts look great. I hope you get the impulse to finish them!

Wow. For you and all the others who have accumulated so many tops, this is going to take a lot of backing fabric 'and' batting. I know I have my stash but I also have used fabric intended for backing to piece with. -- Of course, you could use a quilt top for the top and one for the backing.

I have twenty tops made that need to be quilted. Come August though I will be taking a quilting class at our local community college. I will be able to get them all sandwiched and quilted just in time to give them out as presents
