I like this idea also. How dose everyone else feel?

2.- Grandmother's Flower Garden - This has ben my take along project for over a year
3.- Fall Wall hanging - at least 2 years old
4.- Paper pieced wall hanging- only about 8 months old, my first try at freezer paper piecing, Class project.
5.- Snowman quilt- only about 4 months old
6.- Bargelo quilt- Class quilt, do not enjoy working on it, about a year old
7.- Square in a square quilt-Class project,made from kit, first time with Baticks, don't like the color, 5-6 yr.
8.- Quilt of Valor - This one is special- for my nephew
9.- Yard sale quilt- found hand emb. squars need to be sashed and joined
10.- Block exchange - from Boomarang 5 East, 3 monthsold

I am sure I signed on to this challenge last year....and life got in my way. So I will try again. I did get a Christmas wall hanging almost done over the holidays so that shall be the first on my "UFO" list to finnish. Need the binding compleated and a hanging sleeve. Several waiting to be done. Now I need to learn that little 2 letter word..."NO"! I can be my own worst enemy for saying yes to other peoples projects.

Here's my list -you'll quickly spot a theme:

English garden - Nine-patch blocks from a swap on an online group - needs quilting
Abstract wall hanging - needs quilting
Bag – a kit, fabrics selected, but not started
Log cabin foundation – not started
Large Christmas wall hanging - needs quilting
Baby quilt – fabrics bought, not started
Crumb blocks - have made a pile of these - need some more, then sashing and quilting
Liberty fabrics, English patchwork. Sewn together - needs quilting and making into cushion cover
Hunter’s star - needs to be sewn together and quilted
Star blocks - a friend gave me about 80 small blocks. Need to be sewn together and quilted
Pattern for a cover for my Featherweight – not started
Sashiko kits - 2 x 12in squares. One finished, one in progress
Hand piecing - a Quilt University exercise. Curved piecing, abandoned in disgust and despair!
Christmas tree wall hanging - needs quilting
Hand pieced stars - passed on by a friend - lots to do on this!
Friendship stars - blocks from an online swap - needs quilting
A quilt for my Mum - has been a huge struggle, now trying to find fabrics I'm running short of
Waterfall – a design from Simply Quilts magazine. Have 103 batiks for this, but not yet started!
Bright n black stars - needs quilting
D9P lap quilt - needs quilting.

If I do all these, I should be an expert quilter by the time I finish!
