I don't have really small pieces cut and put away like yours, more often large blocks, or quilt tops waiting to be quilted and bound. And a few bom programs I never finished, gulp! Sometimes I look at them and just don't know what to do with them. Most times I feel guilty about all the things I have, the money I've spent and what I know I won't get. I move past the guilt by distracting myself with online window shopping!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902931991446033427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484254857238719582.post-71746383602490371192013-01-26T21:45:12.026-05:002013-01-26T21:45:12.026-05:00O.M.Gosh... that quilt with 1.5" Nine Patches...O.M.Gosh... that quilt with 1.5" Nine Patches is beyond EXQUISITE!<br />I'll be dreaming about it for quite some time.... lol.<br /><br />I love all those tumblers too!<br /><br />Tell the family that "genuis" IS foucused!

I am still finding things that I had totally forgotten about. I found a bag with two quilt tops made in solid colors. I have no idea where these tops came from. No idea who gave them to me or when I received them!<br /><br />My goal was to have all my fabric in one room. That was a fantasy I can assure you. I have downsized some, but not enough yet. The new sewing room is so neat and tidy, but do not, I repeat DO NOT open the door to the old sewing room!Purple Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614300010193583324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484254857238719582.post-29962620328674386552013-01-25T21:01:25.198-05:002013-01-25T21:01:25.198-05:00LuAnn - LOVE the mini nine-patch quilt!!!

I have my own little stash on blocks that are trying to decide what they want to be when they are done. The trip around the world idea might just make the rainbows sing! As for the collections of fabric, you can only do one thing at a time, so pick your favorite and cross it off the list. Collecting is fun, but finishing is divine!scraphappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472985095648633397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484254857238719582.post-34044445507883566252013-01-25T18:52:36.698-05:002013-01-25T18:52:36.698-05:00Looking at your nine patch quilt in the photo--I w...Looking at your nine patch quilt in the photo--I would have to say you already know the word focus. That is a gorgeous quilt with so many tiny nice patches----I love it. I have found many new items in my sewing room as I change things around--they are so much fun to pull out and remember why I started the project and what I was doing at that time in my life.
