Mountains of tops

Some days ago I wrote about wondering what my thing was. I got loads of email. I haven't really replied to everybody, because of the volume! But by reading all the comments I have one conclusion why I don't really know what my thing is: I spend a lot of time doing things for other people and then you adjust the quilt to those people, right?

So the plan is now to start sewing a bit more for myself so I can find out. The thing is that I made this plan already once before. It was my newyearsresolution to be exact..*s*. But it isn't working so well, if you have been reading my blog. I made something for a friend, and 3 mini quilts for the LQS. Plus I have a special project I already started last year to be finished this year.
Well I guess I have to do some thinking if I really want to give up sewing for others to find my thing. I'll will post my findings later when I have made up my mind.

Okay now about the mountains of tops. I love quilting but starting a new top always wins from the quilting. So Now I have 8 tops ready for quilting. Ofcourse I would like to do the quilting by hand but maybe I can start doing some on the machine.
Tips anyone?

On Sunday there will be a fair in Stockholm , which is held in autumn and spring. It is a fair with evertything for quilting, sewing, knitting, croche, embroidery and so on. So I am going to dive in some projects later today were there are some things missing so I can look for it at the fair. I started a quilt called Les Bobbins de Martine with spools. I made all the spools but can't find a sashing that suits. Here is a picture of the original: http://www.quiltmania.com/patchwork/magazine/quilt/article/Les-Bobines-de-Martine/83/913/913.htm

Well, have a great day. I will get into diving into projects!
