Winter UFO goals

On the last UFO challenge I completed one quilt, made progress on two, created a new UFO and ignored the rest.  This is the list of UFOs I want to make progress on this quarter:

1. Ladies of the Sea

I
 I got all of the blocks completed and trimmed last quarter.  I am now working on the nearly 400 HST blocks that will be part of the borders.  I would like to have this top completed this quarter.

2. Left Over Stars

I put a border on this top in October.  It needs a back, basting, quilting and binding.  I'd like to make progress on this before the next quarter.


3. Scrapitude Take 2

This should be the next quilt I prepare for quilting and start machine quilting.  I would like to have it completed before our guild's quilt show in May.  I guess I'd better get working on this.
4. Bright Baby Revisited

Yep, still on my list.

5. Handy Dandy Scrappy
Still here, too.










6. Put A Chicken On It

This is new to the list.  The top is a bonus quilt with left over pieces that I cut for the border of the star quilt (above).  The chicken is the product of a guild tutorial from this summer.  She had no place to go, and I thought she looked good on this background.  I may give her a few eggs to tend.  I bought a quilting template this fall that looks vaguely like chicken wire.  I plan to use that and practice my machine quilting. 

 7. Maxine

These little blocks showed up in my stash and I don't exactly remember how they got there.  I probably got them at a guild UFO auction.  I've got a bunch of bright fabrics to use as borders around the blocks.  I think there are 25 printed blocks in total.  This should be quick and easy to put together.













8. Blue Floral

I haven't even given this on a thought.










That's the list of the quilting projects I would like to concentrate on this quarter.  This doesn't address the knitting I would like to do, or the tessellating lizard hand piecing project I've been playing with (it's not technically a UFO yet.)  I certainly have enough to keep me busy for quite some time.
