Deadlines

Last night I finished adding the borders on the Rambling Rose top. Yet another top waiting to be quilted. :-(

I've been thinking about my WIP and UFO lists lately and how the same tops have been on there for almost 2 years. I think my problem is that the tops aren't going to anyone, so I don't have a deadline. I made them because I liked the pattern or fabrics, but they weren't FOR someone. So I'm going to try setting dates to have them quilted by and maybe I can get them done.

My first deadline is to get Bricks & Stepping Stones quilted by Sunday night. I'm still new to quilting with my Voyager mid-arm so it takes me a while. I've had lots of problems with thread breaking and I think it's operator error.....I want to go too fast for the machine. I'm either going to do a simple meander or use a panto. I'm going to start working on it tonight after work. I also need to get serious about working on projects I have hiding in the closet, rather than start new ones. Feel free to cheer me on. I need as much encouragement as possible to stay on track.
