I have three quilts on the go. I seem to find it easier to start another one than finish one.
I think I am good at the starting process but get mentally stuck at leaping into finishing stage.
Remember the fresh flowers charm squares I was given (last easter!) and the summer house charm square pack I bought at christmas time - both of these half done - and then the quilt I was making for my daughter.
Make that I had three quilts on the go! I finally finished a quilt.
Well, I finished it because it morphed into a pillow project instead!
After sewing all the strips together, I just wasn't feeling it as a quilt and was stuck for where to go next with it. It has been sitting in the to-do pile for too long and i finally got it out again, and realised it would make a long pillow perfectly. folded in half and sew three sides - easy as that.
I did take a couple of days wondering how to fill it, saved by a quick trip to Ikea for 6 99cent pillows which I sewed three together end to end - flukily this was an eacxt match for size and then filled the pillow full with the three randomly stuffed in and voila - a pillow for my princess.
One very happy princess with her new pillow.
Now to find time to finish these other quilts..... or maybe start a new one!!
