Start or Finish?

What do to do with these?

My new "Obsession" color is NAVY/indigo blue... I feel a dark quilt coming in my future! I went off on an tangent last week when I walked into City quilter.. I went looking for navy and then I found all these other great pieces that I had to have. Now, will they all live in one quilt? Will I chop them to shreds and start from scratch? Will I dive into my scrap bins and sort  out a bin full of colors that I want to use and just start MAKING?

MAYBE!


Although I am itching to start another XMAS quilt, perhaps I will just get these quilts quilted first... 

And PONDER my  next move....

hmmm, I could dream up 10 more quilts by then! 
I best get my sketch book handy!

 
Start a new quilt or finish an old?
What do you think?

  1. I always want to finish up an old one, but I always end up starting a new one.

  2. I think you'll probably do both! I like your dicentra (or lady in the bath) - ours is out now too. Your new batch of fabrics looks delicious, I've just bought a gorgeous Amy Butler navy (Water Bouquet Midnight).

  3. Finish one first dream of the next one then reward yourself with a new project!

  6. You know my answer is "finish the old"!!! I can't wait to see the birds finished!
    Amber and I were just talking about bleeding hearts yesterday. They are beautiful.

  9. Now that is a hard choice. Good luck! Whatever you do will be beautiful!

  10. You might as well focus on "finishing up an old one" because the new ones will insist you start on them anyway. That way the old one will move a teeny bit closer to done before distractions sway you!

  12. I have to go with how the spirit moves on any given day.....who knows what happens when I get in my sewing room? As much as I love finishing a quilt, planning a new one is so much fun......think it uses different parts of the brains....finishing and beginning?

    It's all fun!
    Happy sewing

  14. I say finish the old and start totally fresh... totally fresh with nothing else on the plate.

  15. Just being a bit selfish here, I vote that you start quilting the neutral one that you made in Alabama. I so love that one. But then, you could quilt a while, take a break and dig into the new fabrics and create a while. Yummy to all of them.

  17. I say go with whatever feels right at the time. If you chose to start a new quilt, the UFOs will still be there to work on later. Just enjoy whatever you are doing at the time.

  18. Given how many little stacks of fabrics I have just waiting for their "inner quilt" to be released (to say nothing of the UFO's) I really shouldn't even be typing this comment...however, when you enter your sewing area--go with what you 'feel' like working on (any other may be more of a 'chore' or, at least, not as much fun. Hugs, Doreen

  19. Finish one, start planning another, then start a new one! I love bleeding hearts, planted one last year and I can't wait for it to get big and showy.
