I don't think about the number of finishes as such. I simply want to reduce the UFO piles. They have grown dramatically this year.<br />Good luck with house moving. Such a chore.

And I've been known to change my mind after starting. That's disappointing, yes, but I have to listen to the quilt. The few times that I did not, I ended up not liking the quilt and donating it (sometimes without pictures). So I guess my advice is to wait till the quilt is ready and listen carefully to what it is trying to tell you. This one is gorgeous! I am certain it will tell you what it wants. Those solids may be difficult to quilt but, goodness, they rock this pattern!Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-46713219818409461782016-10-08T19:49:53.373-05:002016-10-08T19:49:53.373-05:00I take a long time deciding how to quilt something...I take a long time deciding how to quilt something too.
