However, when
I left for the retreats I was working on #498
a baby disappearing 4-patch. I found the perfect border and backing fabric
while up in Lancaster but that’s all I did with it.
So my next project would be
#499… however as you can see from my previous post, I made a few other quilt
tops while retreating. Do I count them
as #499 to 504, or just ignore them on my inventory list?
How can I ignore projects that
meant something special to me and hopefully someone else? The two Simply Squares quilts and Anne’s
blocks will go to Bob’s, certainly worth counting, right? Laurie surely loved the Batik Strips top, she
made a nice donation to get it. And the
Christmas wall hangings… hopefully someday they will sell to raise money for
Relay… a must count in my opinion.
I think maybe the two Simply
Squares quilts should be #499, and the Batik Strips #500, and the three wall
hangings #501… What do you think?
Uh oh, that means I have to add
the three wall hangings to my UFO list… or can I count them as WIPs? Guess that depends on what I work on next.
Hey Marge - let me tell you a story - there is a famous composer, Gustav Mahler, who was very afraid of dying. He knew Beethoven died after his ninth symphony, so Mahler got to number 8 and was afraid to go on. SO - HE WROTE NUMBER TEN NEXT ! And lived happily another fifteen years. Then he decided he was being overly superstitious, wrote number 9, and then - you guessed it, passed away!
ReplyDeleteSo - heck, number your quilts however you want - just keep making many more!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving,
Kate
