9 Ways to Tackle Your WIP Pile Like a Pro
The WIP Pile
If you have been quilting for any length of time, you likely have more than one "work in progress" (aka "WIP"). While we encourage multiple WIPs around here because of the slow stitching process of English Paper Piecing (EPP), sometimes those WIPs can become unruly for one reason or another.
So, we've rounded up all of our best tips and tricks for tackling your WIP pile, facing your WIP dragons, and making easy progress. We've even designed a WIP Tracking Toolkit to help you bring your WIP pile from chaos into order. By the end of this series of posts, you'll be tackling your WIP pile like a pro.
