"Power of 10"

The following is a page in our guild's handbook:

The "Power of 10" in quilting is not some higher mathematical formula that quilters all need to learn to make a quilt. It is a simple way to complete those projects we want to finish before we buy any more fabric.

1. Simply find the projects that you are no longer interested in completing and pass them on to someone who would love it as much as you once did.
2. List "10" projects that you would like to complete. Remember "Only10" projects are to be on the list.
3. Begin working on the projects on the list and spend three hours toward completing it.
4. Keep a list of projects and the hours worked.
5. Once three hours are spent on a project move to the next. A quilter's interest wanes and is usually spent after three hours. Now if a project requires two to four hours it doesn't matter. Simply finish the project. Feel good about finishing it.
6. Find another project and add it to the list. Remember, only 10 projects are your focus.
7. Continue to rotate the projects you are working on.
8. List supplies needed to finish your projects.
9. Shop once for items needed.
10. The "Power of Ten" becomes reality when you are able to share your finished projects.
