Before Patchwork Sampler closed in October 2008 my daughter decided that we should make quilts for her seven closest friends for their high school graduation. She picked out fabric for each of the seven quilts and I stored it away. Graduation was over a year and a half away so there was no pressure to get these quilts finished. Well, here it is June 2 and graduation is TOMORROW. Sadly ,the quilts are not quite finished. I still have binding to complete on three and the seventh one is on the quilting frame. With so much going on tomorrow with commencement we decided to either give each girl her quilt at her graduation party or have a big sleepover at our house and present them all at once. Anyway, I should have some time over the weekend to stitch bindings so they’ll be finished very soon. I’ve found I almost always need a deadline to finish a project. If there’s no deadline I’m always tempted to start a new project. That’s how I’ve gotten in the mess I’m in with UFO’s. Hopefully it doesn’t rain tomorrow and I’ll photograph some of the finished quilts and post them.
Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.
