Keeping It Real

Let's keep it real!

See this pile:


It is my pile of completed quilt tops

that are waiting for me to quilt them.

Count them: 1-2-3-4-5---6!


6 completed quilt tops from past & present

projects that are waiting for my attention.




So let's keep it real,

how many completed quilt tops do you have

that need to be quilted?


Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting!

    That’s some pretty stach!
    Counting the quilting tops... that’s an eye opener! I counted 10 already but stopped. I love to make tops, but I dislike the basting part. I hope to have some quilts quilted by a longarm quilter, first I need to save some money... LOL!

    Well, it looks like you are not the only one. I love putting the tops together, but do not like the basting or quilting part. I just love, love making tops and right now in a storage bucket I have 8, really not a good thing. Oh and I have two more tops going as I type.

    I have two that need to be quilted, one that is at the quilters and another that I am working on quilting and it is taking me forever. I also love making the quilt tops but the quilting takes so long that I get bored with it.

    I have four quilt tops (with backs) sitting waiting patiently for me to send them to a longarm quilter. I also have two tops at a quilters right now. So you are not alone... the time or money that is needed to quilt a top is hard to get sometimes so they have to wait.

    I probably have 8-10, but take heart! I took a class with Gayle Bong a couple of years ago, and she said she had over 100 (!!!) unquilted tops. She always considered those tops "finished" until she bought a longarm and joined a longarmers' guild. She said when they found out how many flimsies she had in her stash, they all wigged out. It can always be worse. ;)

    Ok I don't have this problem, I have MANY others, but not this one. I always am anxious to have my quilts quilted. I have a harder time getting the blocks put together, sashed and bordered! That I have several quilts worth to do.

    I have two quilt tops done that need to be quilted, and I have 2 more quilt tops in progress. I did just finish a complete quilt today... my carpal tunnel wrist is still tingly-fresh from hand sewing all that binding! :)

    I have three tops that are ready with backings and two more in the wings, one with a backing nearly made and the other not. The sandwiching/basting is a pain, as I have to use my mom's living room and very nearly always her help to pin! But two of the tops have deadlines and I do so much better with a "must be done" date. Open ended projects tend to remain that way I find....

    I love quilting...call me crazy. I adore piecing and applique but hand quilting is incredibly relaxing.

    None of my projects that are waiting to be quilted but I do have 2 finished tops that I inherited awaiting repairs & quilting. They're not at the top of my to-do list yet.

    Happy Quilting your fabulous tops!!!

    I just have two....not sure why they have sat so long....One is huge and daunting. I think about it from time to time.
