So I thought I'd be one of those people. What are they called? Oh yeah, organized.
HA!
So I made a list.
A list of all the quilts I have, in various stages of completion.
Everything from ones that only need a backing, (Sultry quilt) to ones that only exist in my head (Dog quilt).
My last count was pushing 30.
30!!
That's obscene.
I need to whittle that down, finish some things.
So naturally, as one of those, what are they called?
Organized people.
Oh yes, as one of them, I decided... to start another quilt!!
Cause THAT'S what I needed!
But, yes, I think it's exactly what I needed.
Isn't it pretty?
I'm debating what colors to use. I'm in the swap, so one of the colors will have to be cream/white. But red? Green sounds pretty. ORANGE sounds nice! But maybe it'll be red after all.
It's all up to the quilt. Whatever it wants to be.
It's an interesting pattern to me, because while it IS scrappy, there's not a lot of value changes. All the reds are pretty much the same value. Can I find a gazillon of the same type of red?
I guess we'll find out!

wow that is quite a list of quilts!!!
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your list of uncompleted quilts! Now I feel MUCH better about my own situation.
Although . . . I've never actually made a list of of my works in progress . . . should I do that? Nah. I have a feeling I wouldn't feel quite so good then.
Your new quilt is an interesting take on a "two-color quilt." I like the idea.
So have you been traipsing around the fabric stores waiting for one of them to speak to you?
Yours will be marvelous!
I once made a list of my unfinished projects based on their level of completion! What an eyeopener! I am better now, but not by much. Good luck with your list. I am one of the people you are swapping with and I hope to have your fabrics in the mail by the end of this week!
Haha - your list really cheered me up - I thought I was the only person on the planet with a list of WIps / UFOS etc as long as my arm!!
I too have stepped outside my comfort zone to do this red and white quilt - when I went through my stash, there were NO reds there at all (okay, maybe one or two tiny bits, but still...)
So how is it going? Did you decide on doing the red? Give us an update, we are dying to know!
