BUT... a large percentage do eventually get finished, so I try not to be too hard on myself about it. And, like you, I so wish I could hand quilt them all.

I'll send you my address.<br />I kind of like having quilts at various stages and of various types of work. That way I can do whatever I am in the mood to do. I also look at a friend who has a whole bunch of tops her mother never finished and I think I wouldn't mind being in her shoes. Both of my daughters know how to quilt--I'm just preparing a stitching legacy for them! : )Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-85637372460800608692011-11-14T15:26:52.683-06:002011-11-14T15:26:52.683-06:00And of course, with Q.U.I.P.s you will have someth...And of course, with Q.U.I.P.s you will have something interesting to pass on when you are gone.

A friend of mine told me not to think of them as unfinished. Instead, think of some of them as lessons or experiments. Some you likely won't finish because you've learned what you needed to learn, or tried a new technique or new color combination, and it doesn't need to go further--you've learned the lesson. You're taking that lesson and applying it to new ones when you start more. Hope that helpsyou--it did me! :)Donna~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08983652387362967468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-79939915244541458962011-11-14T14:22:39.457-06:002011-11-14T14:22:39.457-06:00LOL............I think to celebrate I think you sh...LOL............I think to celebrate I think you should start another project...........lol..........Chookyblue......https://www.blogger.com/profile/03673183082274488600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-73845965231191872252011-11-14T13:28:05.145-06:002011-11-14T13:28:05.145-06:00I sure don't care how many unfinished I have. ...I sure don't care how many unfinished I have.
