It's nice to finally have basting figured out and have some finishes and some more soon to be finishes. I had to fight through I can't use pins, I run over them and break needles, can't use spray glue cause my DH had pneumonia and I don't want to thread baste. Finally, I decided that I just needed to bite the bullet and do the thread basting and now even though it is rather time consuming I find that I don't mind it, and sometimes the feel of the quilt itself as I'm doing it is a pleasure.
It's a good thing that I have come to these conclusions, as I have several more tops ready to go, and I am determined to get them done and then organize my sewing room. At that point, I can go ahead with things I'd "like" to do and enjoy the whole process more.By the way, the two quilts that I finished are 2 different versions of the Turning Twenty patterns, only I used 12 fat quarters instead of twenty and made lap quilts instead. The girls are 14 and 10, and I hope they like them.

the quilts look great and yes it is good to have things done and up to date...........working on that at the moment now too..........
Wow, you must have worked really hard to get so much done in such a short period of time.
Congratulations on finishing two quilts. It will feel great to get the other two done too.
Congrats on TWO finishes! Now that you are almost enjoying thread basting, I could send a few tops over... if you're looking for more basting to do :)
Do you have a big frame to baste them in? Your quilts are beautiful!
