Goals - Old WIPS

Like many people, I'm much better at starting a project than finishing it.  As part of my recent organizing efforts, I have tidied up my blog, including an updated WIP page.  This is only a fraction of my UFO's.  It is supposed to be the ones I am committed on working on this year.  Some have been on the page for 6 years.  One of the things that I teach in my day job is goal setting.  Including "put it in writing" and being accountable to someone.  So here you go.

If I remember correctly, I have the 2 main people sections done.  The new design wall will make a big difference on some of the connecting sections.  It seems like I ran out of the fusible I was gridding this out on and need to change to just regular piecing.

This is the watercolor by Terrece Beasley.  I have most of the big sections of this done, but it was a project that spread all over the house so it's been hard to finish.

But my machine quilting has improved to the point that I am now excited to quilt this one.

Oorah!

Deserves to be hand quilted.   I splurged on a wool batting this fall and think this is where to use it.  And I decided on a recipient so it moves up the priority list.   Just need to buy a backing.

Because I have a black batting I bought for this that is taking up a lot of space.

And I finally have the quilting skills to make this look pretty amazing.

Betty Jeanne.

Of the 80 squares I needed, these are the 9 that are finished.  She's now 86.  I may need to reconsider the concept and make it a highlight reel rather than a square to represent each year of her life.

I also have 5 newer projects that are on the to-do list including Big Ass Cat 2, the temperature quilt, bookcase, and the Evolution scrap quilt, a couple pillows and a scrap quilt with a lot of FMQ for a niece.

I'm also determined to do more clothes sewing.  But I say that every year too.


Addendum:  I was invited by Archie the Wonder Dog to join a finish-along...so I will.
