I might even make a video. I am so unhappy about *some* people telling others "you are wrong". I was brought up with MYOB. And in quilting, unless you are trying to please some judge somewhere (and why would you want to do that?) any quilt, ANY quilt, is a beautiful thing. Thanks for your comment and your invite Jean, it is always great to hear from you!! I hope your new job is going wonderfully well!! Marguerita Oh I was re-visiting this idea yesterday again.

I don't make them for prize entry, but I am always told...you didn't use a scant 1/4", you didn't turn your binding here or there, etc. I quilt because I enjoy it!

I just finished sorting my UFO's and then I sorted out all my drawings and notes and I feel tremendously better. I finished a long ignored project, which makes me feel great, and now I fee eager to tackle another! I have been collecting scraps for about 15 years but I have only made ONE scrap quilt - and I LOVE scrap quilts! I gathered all my odd sized scraps last night and a 5 yard chunk of Kona White and I am going to start scrapping - hurray!! And yes, now that I have my notes more organized, I think I am going to be a lot more productive. It helps a lot that we had two nice sunny days this week too :) Marguerita Hi Jamie, we must be on the same wavelength!

I thought I would share it with you. I too have WHIMMS (Works I have in my mind); however, I am one of those people that can't have a lot of UFOs without going nuts or feeling overwhelmed. I started a notebook called IDEAS/IMPRESSIONS where I can put my ideas, thoughts of projects and things I would like to follow up on at a later time when I have completed a project. Because they started being so varied that I started organizing into categorizes so I could come back to them quickly if I was have a yearning to do a project in that particular category. Once I started doing this, it freed my mind up to concentrate on the project at hand. I was so afraid I was going to forget my good idea that was when I found myself starting the project before I should so I would not forget my idea. Now I know that my idea is committed to paper and I can go back to it when I am ready. One of the things I learned about the WHIMMS (Works I have in my mind) has improved my life tremendously.
