I have 3 in active stages right now with another 3-4 nudging at me from the sidelines. The others are safely stashed with notes for "their time" at the top of the list. As far as orphan parts - I stash them until there are enough to make mug mats, journal covers, pillow covers, or other smallish items. Otherwise, I cut them into strips and add them to the string bins.

As for ideas of what to do with your goodies - do you have a quilt guild in your area? There are often members there that are thrilled to finish off projects or to re-create them in their own way.

I don't finish every project but I do find that I sometimes get tired of a project so I'll set it aside and start something new. When I come back to the old project I can look at it with fresh eyes. Occasionally I do get rid of projects because my tastes or styles have changed. It takes a while to work up the courage but I do eventually let them go. At my Guild we have a table where members put UFOs, fabrics, books and patterns. Other members are free to help themselves. One quilters trash is usually another quilters treasure! <br /><br />I NEVER beat myself up over not finishing something. I think the process of creating is just so good for the mind and body that the time was well spent.Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166374693095867682noreply@blogger.com
