finishing

I've been focusing on finishing some quilts this week. Man, does it feel good! I hope I can keep up my momentum, because I have 22 to go after this. That's not THAT bad, is it? ;)

  1. Of course that's not that bad! ;)

  2. Of course that's not bad! I also love the quilt in this picture :).

    But hey, I have...12 different quilts in the works (I think!). So, maybe you can be the crazy mom and I'll be the crazy wife (no kiddos)!

    Happy Quilting!

    Not bad at all. I only have about 27 projects to finish, that's not bad is it?

  6. 22? You are living up to your name....Crazy Mom! : )

  7. Want some of mine (just an offer to help to keep the momentum going)?

  8. Wow. Go Juki Go!

    ReplyDelete
  9. HA! I think I would cry if I knew I had to quilt 22 tops. Good for you! You can do it!

    ReplyDelete
  10. YAY! Lots of finished quilt photos coming our way! 22 is not bad...if someone you knew had more, that is. {grin} I have a bunch to finish but not quite that many. UFO's unite!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Twenty-two?? Sounds about right to me .....

    Hope that Juki has smoke coming out of it soon!

  12. I have just finished quilting and binding 7 UFOs that had been waiting as long as 2 years! What a great feeling!!!

    Sad to say, I still have about 20 more to go (and that's not counting the ones that I "must" start because I want to make some new ones!! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  13. 22?! Wow, I bow down to you! I hope you keep up that momentum, I love to see what you create!

    ReplyDelete
  14. You dont have your machine in a table either?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Oh my thats quite some feat. Hope you do them all. I have 2 on the go and several in my head. Its so easy to have to start that new idea.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oooh ~ I think I'm really going to like this one!! I love the color thread you're using to quilt it!! Can't wait to see the whole thing :-)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Of course not! What one of us doesn't have at least 22 UFOs. lol

    ReplyDelete
  18. That's really not so bad for a beginner. you know, one who begins quilts.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Those are some pretty colors!

    mmm...maybe I should make some headway on mine...before I accumulate 22. :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Cant wait to see all of them,btw saw a Juki recently and thought of you!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Well we have to start somewhere don't we? Love the colours in your quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  22. 22 huh? sounds like my stack of flimsies! I am hoping to get one basted today too (my Wee Play HST quilt!)

    ReplyDelete
  23. When my husband complains about me starting another quilt, I will tell him about you. He,he,he. I only have 4 quilts in the works. I personally don't think 22 is too bad.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Keep it up! It feels so good to finish one!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Please show this quilt when you are done....looks great.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think I can, I think I can! You are a quilter! And quilters have UFOs. I have 85, nineteen are ready for quilting. You are an inspiration. Don't worry about the numbers. Have fun.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh man 22 quilts to finish, holy crap. Good for you! I feel too guilty to have that many quilts going on at once, so I just stare at the same quilt until I am motivated enough to finish it, even though I have all of these other ideas floating around!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I know you can do it! Looking forward to seeing the quilt shown in this picture plus the others....you can put on a one woman quilt show!

    Enjoy!

    I don't think that 22 is bad. I've got at least that many. Maybe I should do what you're doing, just sitting down and getting to work on them. And that's my problem, just doing it.
    Thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oh, 22? Is that all? LOL Good luck! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  32. 22?!?!? Keep at it! I often lose steam on a project at the basting stage myself, but only have 3 piled up at the moment :-)

    ReplyDelete

  34. I want to see THAT quilt (the one in the machine). Pretty colors.
    22 is VERY good...I wish I only had 22 to finish up. I don't leave my prioritization lists where anyone might see them...

    They DO get done though!

  35. You Crazy Mom! Glad I am not the only one with unfinished projects. The quilting part is where I always stall. I love the fabrics in this quilt. Reds and blues are the best!

    ReplyDelete
  36. 22 to go? that makes me feel so much better. i think mine are in the *very* high single digits :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Yay! Finishes make me feel so good! Twenty-two makes me excited because that is going to be so many lovely new pictures to see! I am plugging away at mine, but it will be summer before a noticeable dent is made.

    Wow, 22 to finish. That's quite a quilting load. Crossing fingers you don't burn out and that the momentum keeps up!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh my, that photo gives me headaches. Guess I'm not too patient trying to quilt something huge on a regular machine! I got an HQ16 because I was tired of pulling my hair out over that part of the process, I am VERY impressed if you can do 22 big quilts this way and not go crazy!! =)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Such a tease putting that beautifully coordinated quilt before our eyes like that... Your amazing!

    22? oh my goodness, i can't imagine making that many quilts in a lifetime! good luck amandajean- you can do it!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Ha ha! You know I don't think that's very many. But it DOES make me feel a little better. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  43. 22 is not bad, just a little bit crazy.

    ReplyDelete
  44. At least you are getting some finished. I have about 9 waiting to be quilted. Keep up the good work.

    ReplyDelete
  45. 22 eh? Thats rough. I don't have that many, but I have enough. I'm sending my husband and kid to a hotel in town with a pool for the weekend so I can get some of my UFOs DONE!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Nah, 22 is totally do-able. If you're Crazy Mom. Luckily enough, you are! :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. That's not bad at all! I have 10 waiting for binding and another on the long-arm. Quilt, CrazyMom, quilt!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I normally try to keep this quiet but I have about 50 tops that need to be quilted and probably 20 other quilts in progress.
    See, don't you feel better? Not even a little crazy.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I have more than 22. Last count was 35, and I stopped counting there. Some are only table toppers and wouldn't take much to finish. I'll keep watching you and hope to get motivated. Love the fabrics of the one on your machine now!!!

    Yes, 22 is bad. The bright side is yesterday there were 23 and you are working on Finished.... so you go girl and by the week end it might be 21....

    ReplyDelete
  51. I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone in my quest to finish some things! Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  52. 22 is much better than the number you started with, so keep on quilting. Love the feeling of accomplishment!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I blogged about this just the day before. Finishing is so hard!! Hope you don't mind, I've linked to your post on my blog - to show it's not just me!! :-)

    And you're braver than me - I haven't posted a number (although I know my number makes 22 look really good). Happy Quilting.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Go, girl.... You are an inspiration to a lot of us!
    ; )

    ReplyDelete
  55. LOL, my situation is good, I have only 4 to go.

    ReplyDelete
  56. You SEW girl! Gotta get those tops quilted ... hmmm ... that sounds vaguely familiar.

    Hugs & stitches,
    Jennifer

    ReplyDelete
  57. 22 is definitely not bad, but, I must say, it would freak me out to have that many on my to-do list! Here's hoping you can handle it better than I would :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Lovely work. Looking forward to seeing the completed quilt

  62. Hearing you have 22 is making me feel okay about my stack!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Will you show us some of the finished quilts? Pleeeease! ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  64. My machine looks identical to yours right now with a quilt I'm trying to finish today as well. Maybe ill take a pic and post it later.

    ReplyDelete
