Hi, all you who listed projects to be finished - MPeters, ak Angel, butterfly wings (and then I lost track of who else) - now I don't feel so bad about my unfinished projects, but I'm just so wanting to finish this one in January, and it's only half done. I decided to make it in two strips of 10 blocks each strip, quilt each strip and then sew them together. Each block is 16" square of two side by side widths. I machine quilt, and it makes no difference which side I attack on, the ends have to be scrunched and turned to go thru the machine needle and body. Does that make sense? That is the first project that has to be done before I start on the other unfinished ones.
No. 2 is a baby quilt size of lavendar, pink, blue, purple blocks that only needs a few more pieces stitched and the binding put on.
No 3 is a Christmas scene of house at night with stars in the sky, from last year, and needs some quilting and then binding, etc.
No. 4 is cut out and needs all the pieces sewed together.
No. 5 is a summer quilt from two summers back tht needs an applique sewed on the center panel, then the panel to be put back into the top, and then the sandwiching, etc. I may just tie that one.
No. 6 are some Log Cabin blocks that need to be done to make either a table topper or runner.
When those are done, I can get into some stashes I have to go with certain patterns, smaller projects they are so I can get done. I have just kept buying material when I would see some that I just could not do without, and then match a pattern to them when I get home and check out my purchases.
What I can't figure out is where do the daytime hours go, and why do they go so fast? There is never ime enough to do what I want to when I get done what needs to be done. Now where is the justice there???
It's fun to read all of your comments.

I am working on a surprise quilt for one of my forum members daughter.
She was diagnosed with cancer of the throat and she has to have a quilt to keep her warm. It is 88 x 88, pattern name is Cumberland.
I have 5 more rows to go, they aren't all attached yet.
16 rows by 16 rows

I'm going to go over to the pictures area and start a thread called "What's Next in Pictures?. That way, our thread won't be moved for the pics, and we can keep track of our pics through both threads.

It'll be exciting to see everyone's progress.

I'm moving right along in gramma's quilt and only need about 2 seams for Steven's to be done. I just don't know how I'm going to quilt it yet.

Henry: The quilt pictured is going to be darling.

I like both quilts pictured but especiallly like the baby quilt as it looks like it would go together fast for those last minute gifts we always need. Thanks for sharing.

what are the rules about pictures? or where do I find them. If we put progress pics here, why is that a problem? wondering. C

I don't know if there are written rules, quiltncrazy, but some threads have gotten moved to the Pictures forum for having an abundance of pics. That's fair, but I love that this thread has so many new members and 'seldom' posters telling us all what they are working on along with the more active of us, and that it's here on the Main forum where the most people will see it and join in. I am SO impressed with all of you guys!! :oops:

Thanks for starting the sister thread on Pictures, mpeters. :D

I can't list all that I plan on working on this year. Just sandwiched a baby quilt for DH's BFF, a Home of the Brave Quilt and a childs quilt for donation. Just finished the blocks, they are currently laid out on the floor for a quilt for a good friend who keeps my hair blond. Have fabrics on my sewing machine to cut out tonight for ??? Just because. There are several "to be quilted" and I have tons of UFO's I will get some of them done. I am really in the "quilting mood" right now, especially since I have added a couple hundred yards of fabric stash in the last 10 days, I want to prove to my DH that I can get some done!!!

You're welcome!

I thought it would be a good idea to have a sister thread. I don't know about the hard and fast rules, but I know there is one. I started a thread here in the main forum about a quilt in progress I'm working on with, not step by step pics, but block by block pics. I came here one day, couldn't find it, and panicked. That was when I found out it got bumped to pics.

One of my tops isn't a UFO, it's a WIP. It's been so quick a progress it'll never be a UFO...but it is in my resolution stuff. So when it's finished I'll probably post the finished pic in the sister thread, but the step by step stuff will still go to the thread I started for it.

I think this is going to be so fun!!
