Setting goals

I really had to laugh at Alycia's comment today about starting new projects.
 It seems that's all I've been doing for the last several days.  And "guess who" likes to be in the middle of it all.
 So this morning I set my sights on this little lovely.
 Having decided on the baptist fan pattern, I pulled out my home made stencil using blank radiology film.
A Peter Pan print from who knows how long ago became the backing.
A second backing was pieced to match the newest pink 9-patch.
Another item on the list, trimming the edges of over 50 fat quarters pulled from a bin and washed this week.  They were in coordinating bundles packed away for a rain day.

Guess what, it's raining.  And I had to ask myself, "exactly what am I saving these for?"

This led to finding more pieces that were tucked away here and there.  Again, why?

Tonight I'm working on more goals, getting borders on 2 quilts.  Of course I had to take a break and cook dinner, as well as bake a birthday cake for a friend. 

How many projects are you working on today?

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
