Stash Report, Culling the Herd

This week I took a good look at my collection of 22 quilt tops waiting to be quilted and decided to let a few go.  I'm sending off 5 tops to charity.   I don't love these  enough to pay a longarmer to quilt them.  That will leave me with 17 tops, which is still too many to hoard, but I'm going to cull them gradually.  The goal:  this year keep it as no more than 20 tops.  In 2017, get it down to 15. In 2018 and beyond keep it to 10 unquilted tops.  That seems reasonable to me!

Here are the tops I'm letting go:
