  4. One Quilty Habit I have is to always cut binding for a quilt as soon as I finish the top. Then I'm sure to have binding even if the top doesn't get quilted for a long while.

    ReplyDelete
  5. This is my quilty habit: I finish the top of a quilt (the fun part) then I get the backing all ready and cut/press the binding and choose a batt. Then I store the entire bundle in a bin & label it. Voila! all set to pull out & finish when the right person or charity comes along to gift it to.

  9. I haven't been quilting long enough to have a quilty habit, but it is probably spending longer looking at quilting blogs than actually quilting myself!

    Can you guess my quilty habit? Like you, I want to start more projects before I finish what I'm working on. So many beautiful quilt designs.....I just need more time/lifetime to do it all!

  47. My WORST quilty habit is buying WAY too much fabric for projects I plan to make and only start before moving on to my next wonderful idea! hehe

    ReplyDelete
  69. Oh, I have such a bad quilty habit! I fall in love with a project, buy all (or at least most) of the necessary ingredients, and then lose motivation partway through. I have so many unfinished projects that it almost scares me to count them up!

    ReplyDelete
  70. And I get your newsletter. (Wow, am I a stalker or what? LOL)

    ReplyDelete
  71. My quilty habit is buying irons. Today I received my 6th iron. They all work perfect, but I always find a new one I have to have. I have two Rowentas, a dry iron, a Reliable, an Oliso and now the king daddy of them all - a DeLonghi Pro 300 that has its own steamer! The iron is so lightweight because there is no water in it. There is a hose attached to the steamer and it flows to the iron - I can iron for so much longer without my arm getting tired. I love it!!

  88. I buy wonderful fabric with great design plans, and by the time I get ready to get started on the quilt, I'm sometimes a bit hazy on what those great plans were. You know--which fabric was to be the border, which to be the HST's, that kind of thing.

  93. Do I have a Quilty habit? On my goodness... Which one do I pick? The one that's the worst is that I have a Accuquilt Go fabric cutter with dies. And whenever I get a new die I have to try it out with no particular guilt or design in mind. So I end up with all this cut fabric and not quite sure what to do with it. Lol

  102. My quilt-y habit is to fall in love with fabric at the store, take it home, and then it sits there waiting for me to begin it! I always promise myself I'll finish one of the unfinished projects first...I still have a project for a flannel baby coat for my now 5 year old. I don't think it will fit any longer!
