Being Realistic

I have several UFOs in my stash that I will probably never finish.



These 30s repro print blocks would make a great baby quilt.  I made them in 2007.  They were a block of the month from my LQS.  I don't like 30s prints very much.

 It wouldn't take much effort to sash them and make a baby quilt, but not a quilt I would want to give to a friend. My friends are mostly in their late 40s early 50s, not having babies anymore. Even if they were, I have a hard time giving away a quilt I don't really like myself.   I pull out these blocks several times a year and then put them away again.  Quilter's block or laziness, whatever the cause, I don't want to work with these.

Here is another quilt I will never finish.



This is one of those 'what was I thinking projects'.  Most of he fabric came from a friend.  I found the pattern online, and the person who was doing the tutorial stopped part way through.  I could power through it, but I don't like my colors.  I tried making this one of my goals in 2012 but never got very far on it.

These UFOs are going to charity.
