Hi Friends! Are you ready to celebrate a WIN? It's a fact that progress increases your motivation, so let's finish a project and get amped up for more!
Something Old...
Thanks to the QuIP Challenge I now have a small pile of projects that are very close to finishing. They are projects that need:
quilting finished
squaring up
thread cleanup/tied off
binding
a label
Identifying what steps are left helps me find a clear path to completion, and I know exactly what I need to finish. I also know if I need help to solve a problem like get more fabric or thread, learn a new skill, or make a decision.

This challenge will help free you from being stuck. This is not just for quilting either - I cleaned and organized a whole storage cabinet after sorting my quilts! It will help YOU move forward with clarity, confidence, and encouragement.
...Something New!
If you don't have a Quilt in Progress (who are you?) then I have a fun and QUICK project for you! As for me, I will get that new project buzz after I fix my binding issue on my QuIP, so win-win!
You need:
One 6-1/2" unfinished orphan block or make a new one
One 3-1/2" x 6-1/2" piece of coordinating fabric
One 6-1/2" x 9-1/2" piece of scrap batting or fleece
One 6-1/2" x 9-1/2" piece of backing fabric
This is a cute little mug rug pattern for you (or a friend) to enjoy a cup of a favorite brew. PS - you can skip the side piece and make a coaster.

Now you get all the joyful feelings of fabric play and a shiny new project in about 30 minutes! Make 1 or make a dozen - just have fun! Click below for the pattern:
