I updated my UFO list the beginning of this year. The 2017 tabulation listed 33 projects, nine of which I either completed or discarded. A few of the items on the 2017 list expanded from one to many; the "Do something with Grammy's UFO blocks" became 9 separately listed quilts, five of which are still on the current UFO list. Other items that made it to the new list were abandoned projects I was either given to me (with my consent) or bought because I liked them and didn't want to see them thrown out.
Of the 33 on the master list, I have set a goal to complete at least 10 of them before the end of the year. But, for this quarter, these are the projects that will get my attention:
Grammy Quilt #5 - This is basted and I have started the machine quilting.
Floral Hexagons - I will call this complete when I get the top put together. It will then be donated to my guild as a comfrot quilt for someone else to quilt and complete. There are a fair number of folks in the guild who have long arm machines and are looking for tops for practice. It will make a good sized donation quilt.
Left over Star Blocks - These blocks were left over from a guild raffle quilt. They were raffled off and I won them. This will be a fun little project. I have no idea right not the number of blocks and how they will be arranged.
Cat Quilt - The top is complete. It needs basting, quilting and finishing. I'm looking forward to playing with this, so I may work on this when I get bored with the 9-patch Grammy quilts.
Grammy Quilts 5 through 9 - These are the remaining 9-patch quilts that I want to complete before July.
Scrappy Mystery - This is an in-progress mystery quilt that I am hosting for my guild. I will be working putting the blocks together and trying to stay one step ahead of the clues I publish.
Maxine Panels - I bid on these panels at a guild auction a few years ago. I think this will make a good back for another quilt. This should be a quick, fun top to piece together.
Thanksgiving Table Runner - I guess this is not technically a UFO since I haven't started it yet. This was a quilt guild holiday gift this year. I'd like to complete this before Thanksgiving 2019.
Ladies of the Sea - An on-going project, the third border (pattern shown) is the next step. This will be my evening hand project for the next at least the next few weeks. I have two outer borders and 4 more ships to complete the applique on this project and hope to finish that work this year.
I guess that's all I'll list for now. Twelve is more manageable to think about than 34 and I think I can manage to do these 12 things this year. Wish me luck!
