I get this way from time to time, no interest in starting anything new. All I want to do is get things finished and away. Too much stimulation makes me very irritable, I crave control, calm, quiet, dark.
Yesterday I got those three hats off to Kate, today I finished the first round of seaming on the back of the string quilt. I'll assemble two strips tomorrow, maybe all three, and get started on closing those seams up, then binding and that one's done. I *should* dig those bra blocks out so I can see what I need to do to get that off the list as well. And then I'll consider candidates for the next 4.
I have a world map quilt to do for May, for the Celebrate Diversity program we have at school. I'd like to assemble the Crazy for Pink quilt too. Those are both easy enough. The map is a panel, the crazy quilt will be tied so both need nothing more that simple assembly, layering, and quilting or tying and binding. What else? I have only one nephew this year in need of a quilt and I've a prety good idea what that one will be - batik and black courthouse steps. I'm not sure if it'll be all scrappy or a single colour family. Unlikely it will be a single batik, I'm sure I don't have enough of any one fabric to accomplish that. I guess I'll see it when I do it. Huh, that's 3 already, number four...? I shall ponder. Perhaps, I shall clean up the dump and see what exactly I do have waiting patiently. There's three I can think of, no four, but none are screaming at me. One was wimpering a while ago, but I'm just not sure I'm ready to deal with the feelings sealed in the bag with those blocks. Maybe. Maybe not.

I thought you kinda had the 'three for others, one for me' thing going on. Don't know why I thought that. Are you making a big dent in the UFO's so far with the plan?
On the flip side, I like starting new stuff and have a hard time finishing things. But I DO like quiet.
