So, you might have noticed a new button over there on the right.

She's taking a 6 month fabric fast and inviting us along. I'm just squeaking in by the deadline. Good thing I haven't bought fabric since the first.
I realized after moving my entire studio and trying to organize it that I have a lot of fabric. I also have a lot of unfinished projects. I also have a truckload-sized pile of things I want to make - unstarted projects, if you will. I'm also out of storage space for the most part. Which is why I haven't put up many pictures of my studio. I got tired of shifting the piles. Well, I could cram everything into the closet, but I'd like to be able to actually find things when I need them.
So, I pledge:
For the next 6 months, I will not buy random fabric. I am allowed to buy fabric to finish a project (borders, backings, bindings) because I usually don't have yardage for those. I am allowed to buy vacation fabric. And I think there's a quilt show in my area in June, so I will allow myself shopping there, guilt-free.
This is actually kind of peripheral to my actual goal which is to FINISH STUFF UP!!

FINISH Four, START One!
My goal is to finish 4 projects before I start anything new. I can work on anything I want when I go into the studio. I can mess around with scraps, play with the colored pencils, make three new blocks then put the project away, but I can't start any new project til I have completed 4 old ones. I also do not have to finish the "start". I can, if I like, and it will count as one of the next 4 finishes, but I don't have to. I'll still have a net gain on the unfinished list. Hey, quilting is supposed to be fun.
So far, so good!
I've finished:
Brown squares quilt originally for the living room (December, '13)
Birds jellyroll quilt
