These are just the completed quilt tops, mind. There are partially finished quilts and stray blocks all over the place, too, plus all the fabric.

| The one I'm working on at the moment. |
 |
| The oldest one I have lurking about, started about 15 years ago. I still like this pattern. The thing's massive, though, and will take a lot of quilting. Fingers, be warned. |
 |
| One I started twelve or so years ago, to use up the scraps from the project above. But there weren't enough scraps for a whole quilt, so I bought more, creating more scraps. The vicious circle of crafting ... |

| Started about twelve years ago. The feature fabric is from my seemingly bottomless stash of William Morris fabrics. I was disappointed with this quilt, which is why I abandoned it. Although I like the lattice pattern and the feature fabric, the Goth black and lollipop pink are way too strong and create a licorice-allsort effect that I don't like. I'm going to try to sell this quilt top on Made It or eBay. |
 |
| This is about ten years old. I started machine quilting it, as you can see, but didn't like the effect. I still like the design, though, so will re-quilt it by hand instead. |

| The most recent of the unfinished batch. I made this as a sample for a quilt book I was working on about six years ago. Some of the fabrics I like, others I really don't – those spotty ones make my eyes go woozy. Overall I don't like it enough to want to put more time and money into it, so it's also destined for Made It or eBay. Out of curiosity I did some sums. These six quilts total more than 20 square metres (or 218 square feet, if that's how you like it). That's about a third of the floor area of my flat! I'm not putting them back into the Chest of Shame. They're staying on display to force me to do something about them. |

| I can't afford to work full time. I've got too much craft to do. |
The one you're working on at the moment is really pretty!
