Excited to Finish

I have a number of projects in my closet that I consider Works in Progress or WIPs rather than unfinished. Now that projects have designated recipients, its like there is new energy put into them. I feel a re-newed passion to work on quilts again.

This morning I reached a place where I needed to order more supplies to finish one I just started, and used the gift card my younger Son sent. I put the Log Cabin blocks I was working on away until the fabric comes, returning to one of the quilt-along quilt tops I made this year. It only needed threads clipped and to be pressed. It had the back & batting, so is ready to baste and then quilt.

Bit by bit, the storage containers are emptying or being used for other things. Finally, I am seeing a change in what seemed to be a huge stash of fabrics. For so many years now, it seems that my quilts have been scrappy, and they are quite nice in the end. However, there is a difference in the look from scrappy to when a quilter buys coordinated fabrics for a more polished look. 

I will make more of the scrappy backs to fit with any of the quilt tops and keep the movement of fabric going out. These are fun to make too.
