Yesterday I realized I was getting close to relapsing on my WIP habit.
After finishing the rainbow quilt I was talking to the hubs who told me it would be okay for me to wait to baste these quilts until he returns.
I was tempted.
Actually I resolved to just make quilt tops and put them away until the fall.
Then I realized it would end in disaster.
Even having two quilts waiting to be finished started feeling bad when I thought about it.
Shoot while the rainbow quilt backing was in the wash I started cutting something!
I don't want to end up with a dozen wips again.
What a slippery slope!
So this morning after breakfast I mopped.
And spent ALL MORNING basting.
(but I have an awesome audiobook I'm listening to right now, so it wasn't boring)
I unhappily realized the backing for my Horizons quilt was barely big enough.
Nothing like squeezing by with a tiny bit of excess.
This quilt I will be hand quilting.
The rainbow quilt I will be machine quilting.
As for the Boathouse fabric I started cutting yesterday...
It will be there waiting for me to finish the rainbow.
What great motivation!
