There's something about a new project that is so much more exciting than an old one. My poor old projects get neglected for months at a time as soon as a new one joins the lineup. And that's about to happen again. I'm moving on to a new project and I'm excited to get going!
My next quilt is for this handsome guy:
He recently moved into a twin size bed in prep for the new baby and needs one of mama's quilts to keep him warm.

Time to start cutting!
Speaking of cutting, here's a quick tip:
If your fabric is dark or has a distracting pattern, try cutting with the wrong side of the fabric facing up. It is so much easier to see the edge of your fabric when you're looking at a white background, than when the edge of the fabric keeps blending with the mat or the ruler lines.
Can you see what I mean? Makes a world of difference!
What's your newest project? Do you have the same problem with neglecting old projects?
