the fear of leaving one out...

Last January, I got intrigued by the idea of low volume quilts. I had plenty of pastel baby prints that I didn't know what to do with, so I  cut a bunch of squares and made Annabelle and Amanda.

Teenage Daughter saw them and decided that she wanted a big version for herself -- without the baby bottles or diaper pins. I pulled a bunch of fabrics and bought some more, and cut a bunch of squares and then got distracted by other things. What hangs me up with this kind of project is the fear that I'll leave something out. As soon as I get the top together, I just know I'll stumble across the absolute perfect fabric or fabrics, waiting there in my stash. 

I've got my nine-hundred squares cut, so I think it's time to just say enough is enough and start piecing. I could get the top together in a few days...or I could make a few blocks and then stop because I'm sure that perfect neutral fabric is still lurking in my stash...
