Current system of working...

Nato's grandma inadvertently gave me the idea to sew single quilt blocks when I need a break from my sewing projects.

So, instead of spending my "burnt out" time reading, I make a quilt block or two, so that in 2 weeks to a month, I'll have a quilt top.

Even in my down time I'm being productive...I might HOPEFULLY be able to get caught up by rotating through my projects as I feel myself beginning to get "burnt out" with them. Also, by not starting any new projects until I have the 2-4 current projects finished.

Wish me luck.
