    You know, because I hand quilt, and work full time, it takes me forever to complete a quilt. So far, I have been piecing a top and quilting one at the same time, but have never pieced more than the one ahead. This got me to thinking that maybe I should just go ahead and piece tops, and if I don't live long enough to complete the quilts, maybe my granddaughters would we happy to have them one day to finish.
