I really like how yours is starting out! I wanted to make one, but was intimidated and ended up buying the kit from Purl Soho- I wish that I had put my own together! Yours is looking great!<br /><br />As for finishing- I was doing that too- starting a lot of things and not finishing much. So I gave myself a deadline- and I wasn't allowed to buy more fabric or start anything new until I finished my list of projects. So now, here I am, coming up on my deadline (the birth of my 2nd baby- due next Friday) and I have finished so many things! And now I am starting to plan more projects and it really feels good to have all the other things done! I started breaking my projects down into specific tasks so I could still feel like I was completeing things on a daily basis. For example- instead of having- make color wheel quilt on my list- it would be cut color fabrics for wheel, cut background fabrics, assemble 1st quadrant, etc. It really helped with my motivation. I use an iPhone app to track my tasks. :)<br /><br />Sorry for the long ramble...this is just a topic that I have been dealing with very much this summer- and have gotten to be somewhat passionate about!!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06917994521712979609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3171875653750978332.post-21991367752600021752010-07-21T13:40:56.249-07:002010-07-21T13:40:56.249-07:00I've always wanted to make a color wheel too. ...I've always wanted to make a color wheel too.

Stick with it and LOVE IT !<br /><br />I seem to finish current projects (ones that I'm starting these days) pretty well, but I have several OLDER ones that I just really don't WANT to go back to. I mean, really nice quilts that I just don't even like anymore !<br />Times change, fabrics change, styles that we like change..............I'm finding that it's not really a good idea to put something aside for long......unless you need things to pass down to the granddaughter ! Hope she likes 80's fabrics !Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538342558750190865noreply@blogger.com
