18 in 18 - The Quilting Edition



I plan to participate in Lynette's 18 in 2018.

Just preparing the following summary
of my waiting quilting projects 
helped clarify what I want to accomplish
during the coming year.

I do not necessarily feel pressured to finish these,
but I am very (!) tired of them hanging in the closet
and making it difficult to use the shelves they block.

So, without further ado . . .

These are all so pretty that they deserve to be out of the closet. Good luck getting them going. And happy new year!

Good luck on all of the finishing. It sounds like several are totally ready to do with all decisions made. I need to prepare backings for several of mine.
