QA - Quilter's Anonymous

This is going to be one of those embarrassingly honest posts, where I hope no judgement is given....just your love and support. So, you all have seen those hoarding and buried alive shows right? Well, if you entered my quilt room, you might sign me up.

Here is a sneak peek into my quilting room and what I am working on right now. Please, PLEASE tell me other people's quilt rooms look like this! (Of course I will not be sharing my stash bookshelfs.)


Here is a picture of the quilt top I just finished up using Extreme Sports by Riley Blake:


Here are some pics of my projects somewhat organized in some plastic bins:


Still excited to get working on my Sweetwater Countdown to xmas quilt (can be seen in the bottom bin):


Here is a list of projects I have (and that I'm hoping to get through this year get a good chunk done).

UFOs (Unfinished Projects)
This is a list of projects I have started, in one way or another:

Quilt tops done - waiting to be quilted and binded:
1. Georgia's quilt (see previous post! one down, many to go!)
2. Tiffanie's quilt
3. Brianne's quilt
4. Extreme sports quilt
5. Gathers n' giggles quilt
6. Halloween quilt
7. Reflections quilt
8. Ginny's quilt
9. Utah stadium blanket

In process:
10. Give a hoot quilt
11. Xmas quilt
12. Flowers quilt
13. Off track
14. Schnibbles picnic
15. Alphabet quilt

Quilt kits or most of fabric ready to go:
16. Kaleidoscope quilt
17. Robotz
18. Daisy Cottage
19. Basket quilt
20. Buttercup jelly roll sampler
21. A Boy's Story
22. Pirate quilt

Fabric I have ready to do something with:
23. Hullabaloo layer cake
24. Sherbet pips layer cake
25. Fandango jelly roll (and lots of other goodies including yardage and fat quarters)
26. Urban chiks Dream On jelly roll
27. A couple of various xmas projects
28. A couple of gift items
29. BYU stadium blanket or two
30. University of Utah stadium blanket or two

I think when you hit 30 projects, that is a good time to stop counting, and start quilting!

I would like to try out a plus or cross quilt...maybe I will use the Hullabaloo or Sherbet Pips layer cake for that.  And of course I have dreams of making my daughter a few cute things this summer.

The one project I will be purchasing this year (and the only one I have plan on getting!) is Moda's Urban Cowgirl line coming out. Not sure if I can stick to this or not, particularly with the way cute lines Riley Blake and other fabric makers have been coming out with, but that is my goal as of right now.

I am trying to commit to only buying fabrics necessary to finish the above projects! Here's to a wonderful and productive 2012!

Happy Quiltings!
