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!
Nice choices there! Just remember, if it's not started our you're not going to finish it, those projects can't count toward the (Ravelry) UFO Club. Happy finishing!!!
