The Jars of Mrs. Rice


Hi there.  I'd like to tell you about my jars.  Yes, you read that right.  I have two jars.  I am a quilter and a while back I figured I needed to get my unfinished projects down on paper so I knew exactly what I needed to get done.  You see, I am an out of sight, out of mind kind of person and I was having a difficult time remembering all the projects I had.   
I found in the process of my counting and writing down that I have over 90 unfinished quilts.  Over 20 of them just need to be quilted.  Since I quilt my own quilts these all needed to go into the jar.  This is why I chose to split my projects into two jars:  one for any project that is not ready for quilting and another for completed tops that are ready for quilting. 

Sometimes I feel like piecing and sometimes I feel like quilting.  This way I have a choice.  When it is time to pull another paper from the jar, I can choose which type of project to work on.  My goal is progress.  

Next time I'll share my first project from the jar and my rules for The Number Jar Project (the NJP).
