Quilt designer Bonnie Hunter posted the following meme on Facebook and on her blog a few days ago, and it really resonated with me. There are definitely "piles" in my sewing room, and some are getting very tired of waiting for their turn.

I'm making a little headway on the WIPs and the UFOs around here, and managed to assemble 3 small quilt tops from those this week.
So, here is the 3rd one of the tops, ready for a backing and quilting. It's 42 x 62, and used most of a Kaffe jelly roll plus that fish print that was a freebie from our guild giveaway table. The colors of the jelly roll are repeated in those fish. It's a pretty good mash-up in my opinion, and just as colorful as I had imagined it would be.
There is an 18 by 42 strip of the jelly roll section leftover, all sewn together. I'm thinking I can get 3 placemats from that piece. That isn't likely to happen until the weekend however.
All 3 of these quilts were WIPs a week ago. The churn dash blocks were all made, but hadn't been assembled into a top yet. The Anita's Arrowhead blocks were not all sewn, but at least the pattern and fabric were still in the bag with the few blocks that I had made. And the jelly roll race quilt at the top was just a mess in a bag, although the jelly roll had been sewn into the long single strip.
It feels so good to have these tops hanging in the closet, one step closer to being finished quilts instead of just projects Waiting In Piles.

You have done a good job of working through your piles. All three are bright and fun quilts. I don't have piles so much as I have project boxes. I'm up to 3 empty ones, but I need sort through my other project boxes and separate the ones that have more than one project in them. Happy stitching this weekend.
Waiting in piles...I have some of those projects also! You are making progress!
