I have a pile of tops that need to be quilted. Quilting for others has really chewed into my time for my own quilting. And yet I continue to make tops. In 2015, I need to get a handle on this. I hope to quilt one of my own tops every month, and try to make a dent in the UFO pile. What's in the pile right now, you ask? In approximate order of finishes:
