So. Spring to Finish. It’s going…. well…. it’s going. Let’s check the white board shall we?
Yes, I have a white board in my sewing space to help me keep track, and it is vaguely color-coded in the status column. I’m a geek. Roll with it. Black ink usually means I haven’t quite started. Green means the fabric is at least cut, and I’m probably working on blocks. And red means FINISH THE DAMN THING ALREADY. There’s a lot of red on there right now, and it’s freaking me out just a little.
I’ve got one complete finish, the quilt for my cousin’s daughter. Admittedly, by the time I even put it on the list, the binding was nearly on. But still, it’s a finish. Check!
All of the mini pinwheels were totally worth it for my Pinwheel Sampler, the top for which is complete, and the backing is planned and fabric mostly cut.
Big-kid bed quilts for my kids have come together very quickly. Or, at least, the tops have. Lots of wide sashing made it big enough without having to do a bajillion individual blocks.
So, that leaves me with three flimsies. Three red statuses. Two of which feel like they need to be done rather soon, since they’re for the big-kid beds, the transition to which is rapidly approaching. Excuse me while I go have a small heart attack.
Speaking of heart attacks – you’ll notice that the Cobblestone quilt has a green status on the board. Not red. Not a completed top. You may also notice it has the most specific (and earliest) due date. That’s a problem, since the current progress on it looks like this:
I’ve really been procrastinating on this one, for a number of reasons, and it’s getting to a rather critical point. The extra crafting for Mother’s Day didn’t really help the situation, nor did having my in-laws staying in our guest room (aka my sewing room), meaning I did not have access to my machine for a solid two days. Eeek! Gotta get cracking.
And please, don’t even ask me about my Bee blocks. But it’s not the end of May yet, so they can’t be overdue, right? Except, you know, that one left over from April. Sigh…
