Project Inventory

So, we took an inventory of all my unfinished quilt projects. There are 13 completed tops, most of them from before we moved two years ago. Three are mystery quilts from before 2000. There are store samples, table runners and toppers, all of no use to anybody since they are not finished. Now, eleven are on Brenda’s shelf and off my agenda until they are quilted. I have also finished a stack and whack that I found the pile of block for. There was another pile of striped fabric ready to be cut into triangles for another quilt top I have cut them and sewed them. There are also two more tops hanging in the store, and at least one more completed top in my sewing corner. Oh yes, and there is a double wedding ring top that is 80% done, and a lone star top half done. The block of the month, blocks will be done soon, so that top will be able to be completed too. I am sure there are a few more that we haven’t found simply because of the depth of the piles. It feels good to know that some of my projects are getting finished., and I know where the other ones stand. Now I won’t feel bad about starting a few more.

Taking inventory is not a bad thing, especially if it makes some of your previously started projects useful by simply backing and quilting them.
