As noted in the previous post Pat Sloan is helping quilters get on track to finish UFOs. So, today I chuckled when I came upon this and this -- such tempting treats.
Joanne at Thread Head is hosting a quilt along. It's a lovely sampler quilt with many possibilities. She has posted several layouts and they're beautiful.
*and*
Jodi at Pleasant Home will feature a series four delicious projects full of scrappy goodness.
If that's not sufficient, just wait a few days (13 to be exact) and you will find a mystery quilt along hosted by Bonnie K. Hunter beginning November 1 (I believe that's the date). See her initial information here.
So, if you need to 'get your quilting house in order'...first visit Pat Sloan's blog and follow her sage advice.
Then when you've done the hard work maybe you deserve a little treat?
I think so. Yes. Definitely.

Works in Progress & UnFinished Objects (WIPs & UFOs)
So, are you a finisher? I mean, do you work on a project at time from start to finish -- one project?
Me? No. I tend to flit from project to project. It's so tempting to begin something when inspired. It's nice to have several projects to choose from to work on. (1) I like a variety of color combinations and maybe I am in the mood to work with 30s fabrics one day and civil war fabrics the next. Not a problem, I have one of each going right now. (2) It's nice to have projects that require different techniques going at the same time. I like handwork and sew by machine as well. English paper piecing allows portability so I can sew even when away from home. I love that -- more sewing time is good. (3) There is also the option of having a project that is less complex; one I go to for 'mindless sewing'. Add items begun in classes but not yet completed.
Needlesstosay I have a lot of projects going on simultaneously in varying degrees of completeness. I am okay with that. Really!
Pat Sloan has issued a sort of call to action to "bust your UFOs". See her first post on it here. Do you know what you have? I think I do. I guess I need to check on that.
