Quilt Hoarding


Your family member whom you adored passed away. While the family goes through their belongings, they find many unfinished quilts and sewing projects, along with boxes upon boxes of material and thread. No one seems to want any of it so you say you'll take it all, with the thoughts of finishing the projects plus you find some patterns you wouldn't mind making. So you take these boxes home, may even sort things, even put it in a priority system of which ones you want to do first. But you ended up as over whelmed as your lost loved one must've felt and you decide to just box them up for a later date. You feel guilty throwing out your loved ones's hard, unfinished work, so you keep it, in the hopes you can finish it someday. But it just sits stored in boxes in your home. You may even go to garage sales and find boxes of material for a great buy-even bags of cut squares for quilting and you just cant pass up these great buys. So you add this to your already overwhelming heap of material and hope to someday be able to finish the quilts and then eventually start your own quilt.

Good thoughts, bad outcome.
