WIPS OVERLOAD, et al

 

I pulled out all my little pieced tops
this morning--I have some 
32-- 
yes, 
THIRTY-TWO!!--
In various stages of finishing...
YIKES!!!
πŸ‘€πŸ˜’πŸ˜•πŸ‘€
and 
All these above,
on the ironing board, 
are at least sewn together..
not orphan blocks...

[I haven't even counted those or
corralled them even....]

I am so overwhelmed--
πŸ‘ΉπŸ‘½πŸ’€

but this is just 
STEP ONE..

and ↶↶↶↶
Not counting these two which I have
unpinned and set aside for now.
{Why not start a NEW
WIP pile, right???}

WHAT????
Really????

These are just pinned up ↨↨↨
Willy-Nilly as they are in
the same colorways...
******************************
I left the room shortly after
doing this bit....

I have sort of put them in 
these categories:

1. Finished except for backing 
and layering pile;

2. Just possible pairings tops
{separated all the greens
for instance}
3. Strip sets begun from 2.5" 
jelly rolls

And
that is as far as I have gotten...

 this was my cutting space↡↡↡↡↭↭↭↭
πŸ‘ΊπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘Ώ
 *****************************

Later.....
I did sew these
into one big,  long
strip for a table runner--
so that is one decision made 
;)))))
And, of course, another WIP is born....
S  I  G  H....

I had planned on sewing a lot of these starts
together in one big kahuna piece--
or two maybe--
but they really are just all so different!!

If I can steal our living room floor for 
a while, I may lay them all out 
and take a picture...
that may help?????

In the meantime, in between time,
I NEED a cuppa my 
Yorkshire Gold Tea 
to calm my spinning mind
down...

stay tuned.....

*** Added note: at 1 p.m.

I cannot work up any enthusiasm for
finishing any of these right now...
Most are hanging back up--but at
least in organized piles...
there was a reason why 
I stopped work on these....
;(((((
I need a snappy nap!!
;)))))

*****Note Two --Added
at 6:30 p,m,
after a great dinner
(sauteed shrimp and rice) and
a Manhattan--courtesy of Tom 
;)))))

I have gotten over the "shock and awe" hahaha
of seeing all those WIPS in a pile now...
AND
I have chosen 3 to work on right now:
L: Strawberries runner: choose backing;
Middle: Improv mess to puzzle out;
R Large Ojos runner: choose borders and backing...

I love working on runners and quilting them seems
so easy for me...so I thought two easy--
and one puzzler...
;)))))
