Be Careful What You Wish For

I have always been a task oriented person.  Give me a "to do" list and I will get all items completed and marked off.  To that end, I thought I would create a "Current Projects" picture album on my computer as a visual to do list of all my sewing projects either in progress or I want to do real soon.  I took my Ipad into my sewing studio to take pictures for my new brain child.  I thought I had a good grasp on the projects I had started and one day would complete.  I tend to put projects in the small bins to keep the supplies organized.  This started my "Oops" phase.  Oops, I forgot about that one, Oops, another one, etc.

The first quilt is a Judy Neimeyer "Crown of Thorns" paper pieced quilt.  I started this quilt about 10 years ago when we moved into our house and I had a new BIG sewing studio.  I promptly increased my hours at the Bernina store and it became an unfinished project.  I have all of the spikes pieced.  I am to the point of doing all of the curved piecing - - which may be why I stopped.  I have a Bernina 830 now with dual feed.  Should be a piece of cake!

The second project was a baby quilt I thought was adorable.  I will have to get into it and see, but I think I might have traced some of the applique shapes on the wrong side of the fusible web.  This means that they won't fit together when I try to place them on the background fabric.  I have time to fix that now.  This sounds like a quilt retreat project!

How many of us who sew all the time, really want to inventory our unfinished and in progress projects to see how many we really have?  I am looking for a show of hands here.  No, me neither.
