I have this ridiculous (but not entirely unfounded) fear that if I don't keep after it, when I return to a project, I won't remember what I need to be doing, or how I should be doing it... That said, though, I often bounce around between a few different projects for one reason or another. Right now, though, having finished the Christmas sewing - with the exception of my long term EPP project and my red and white quilt, which is less than 1/2 way quilted, but since it has no particular purpose, keeps getting pushed to the back burner, I have no other projects actually started! <br />I've been collecting fabrics for a quilt for my sister for her 50th birthday, and just yesterday thought of a design for a quilt for my dad and his wife. Then there's the quilt in my head that I think would be a good fund-raiser. And of course, my Pinterest board.... So I won't be without a piecing project for long :-) First, though, I have to re-make my son's TaeKwonDo uniform; he is so tall that in order to get a top that is long enough, he has to get a size that is waay too big around. It's not a task I'm looking forward to, but it really must be done!the mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442659609532682275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-76844846206920631852015-12-04T00:25:15.253+01:002015-12-04T00:25:15.253+01:00Haha!!

They're almost all super intense, so I get over-saturated by them after a while and need a break. I *love* your orange peel project, by the way!Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424861624240818479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-62328973194568676772015-12-03T14:44:48.878+01:002015-12-03T14:44:48.878+01:00First of all, that fresh dot is a perfect sashing ...First of all, that fresh dot is a perfect sashing for a FGV quilt!! Great call! I don't think I am terribly on again off again...my delays are usually of the "waiting for the perfect backing or batting" variety rather than a "in progress roadblock" variety. I do find that picking fabrics can be my biggest roadblock of all, so that once those decisions are made I am pretty much home free :) and your runner is seriously sweet!!!SarahZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848104380274247158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-50651329101426988922015-12-03T05:26:41.190+01:002015-12-03T05:26:41.190+01:00I am definitely an on again off again quilter.

Sometimes I pause and set a project aside because I need time to think about the next step - a fabric choice as you did, or deciding an FMQ pattern, or picking a backing. But equally often I see something cute that just whips my head around and I am off in another direction. I have a list of projects in progress or to do but the priority order constantly shifts. That is such a cool idea to have a friend over to do sewing all day. Love the picture of her taking a picture.DianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-27606235011097898562015-12-03T04:04:06.923+01:002015-12-03T04:04:06.923+01:00Definitely on again, off again.

I figure as long as I stay busy, and finish something now and then, then I must still be sane!

All the stages of making a quilt are so different, and I kind of like moving along that continuum of activities I guess. ;) But it is fun to make some smaller projects along the way, too.Laneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473824862854337828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-35707941098894150782015-12-02T19:38:58.301+01:002015-12-02T19:38:58.301+01:00I'm on again off again because I take on more ...I'm on again off again because I take on more than I can complete, or I have to make gifts and it wings me off in another direction.
