As many of you know, I am fairly new to quilting. Well, I love to make the quilt top part and then I have a hard time finishing them!
Am I the only one with this problem?
Anyways, here are the three I've made this month:
Needful Things raggedy heart pattern quilt {fabric moda bake shop aviary}.
Thimble blossoms Sassafrass pattern using Moda Basic Grey fabrics.
...and right now I am working on this super cool disappearing nine patch pattern {fabric is Sweetwater's brand new "authentic" line that you will LOVE!).
Mom, please help me finish and bind these!

Yeah, I have the same problem, and I am a machine quilter! I'm too busy finishing everyone else's quilts to finish my own!
Fun quilts!
You know what I do? Send them home with my mom and grandma along with a speech about how cool it will be to have had ALL 3 generations work on the same quilt. So far, they've fallen for it.
I dont have that problem here, my problem is I want to learn to quilt! lol
I just finished two quilts that I started 4 years ago, all I had left was the binding...I feel your pain ;)
wow you are on a roll...they all look amazing for a newbie :-)
I am not sure where you live - I just looked at the last few visitors and they are all from Utah - so.... I assume you live in that area?
In SLC (Cottonwood Heights area) there is a quilt shop called "Elaine's Quilt Shop" off of 215, the 6200 exit - that will do it for you. You can choose any stitch design you want. I made a quilt top for my son - kind of a surfing theme - I had Elaine's do a 'hibiscus' quilting pattern. It turned out amazing. I was able to customize the quilt top - but didn't have to do all the heavy labor! Trust me - I've been there, done that - unless you are an expert quilter - I'd leave it to the professionals. LOL
I love Elaine's - every time I come into town I hit that shop. They have amazing fabric, classes and their staff is so knowledgeable (SP?) If you are not in SLC - I am sure you can find a quilting shop anywhere - just google it!
They are BEAUTIFUL! I have never attempted quilting. I just keep BUYING fabric to make my girls dresses, skirts, booties, tops, etc... It's a horrible addiction that I love:)
I have like 6 tops that I've had for several years...you are not alone in your problem.
absolutely gorgeous! You'll have time all winter to finish them!
i have the same problem!!! Picking out the patterns, fabric, and seeing it go together is the most fun part! I utterly HATE binding.
Wow, these are all amazing!! I WISH I had that problem...I still need to finish making my daughters quilt TOP that I started in March!
Oh that is so cute though!! I keep wanting to learn, but I just don't have enough time!
fine I'll help you, but you've got to get the back material, and the batting
(your mom)
I have the same problem, at least now I know I am not the only one. I think that you should do a unfinshed quilt challange and see who has the most unfinished tops, then who can finish the most in a certin amount of time. I would be willing to sponser a prize!!!!

Valerie, that would be fantastic! I'll be contacting you soon.
Yes I have the SAME problem! The quilt top to my son's baby quilt is waiting to be quilted and bound as we speak. Hopefully I will finish it before he comes in 3 weeks!
Those are way cute. I do quickie finishing on mine... still not a "real" quilter.
I have the same problem finishing as well soooo... I just send them over to my sister who has a longarm quilting machine and she finishes them right up. It's her business. She has people send her stuff from all over the US. Here's her sight if anyone is interested
