Finishes this year.

OK, I understand that this is not due until the very end of December, but quite frankly, with all the stuff happening right before New Years, I won't have another day to complete this work.  So today or rather tonight, I decided to give up, and let it go.  I over did it, stating that I would finish 6 BOM's that I was working on throughout the year, and that I would have all of them done.  Not likely, but now I'm ready to concede. Why?  Because I did other quilts at the last minute for Christmas gifts.   So here is the link to the promise of what I would complete  for the 2014 Finish Along with Katy from the "Thee Littlest Thistle".

So I tried to make a few quilts to cut it down. According to my husband I can no longer buy any more material until I get the material situation under control.  OK I admit it, I'm a fabricaholic but I don't feel the need to stop all together.  I'm just going to stop buying for a while until I have cut down the material.  Plus, there are so many quilts th

One more I forgot to mention! Pink and black with exotic squirts. Squares of different patterns to cuddle up to. Each square has different quilting on it. Black border around the quilt. Big enough to hide in;)
