2) is a Stack-n-whack top that needs a couple repairs and the top will be finished
3) is a BOM that I started in a class several years ago and then something happened and the class got canceled before all my blocks were done, I wasn't confident enough then to try and finish them on my own, but now i think I can do it without a problem so that will be a major project this year.
4) Is a log cabin baby quilt I started a couple years ago after coming back from Kansas shop-hop. I have several blocks done but I'm very unhappy with them, so I will either take them apart and redo them or scrap these and start over. These are in 30 repros.
Those are my UFO's
I'm also doing the IRR on this board so that will be ongoing thru the year.
I'm planning to join SD on the Pioneer Sampler on this board as well.
Now I'm debating if I'm going to do that one alone or if I'm going to do a
URR as well. I've order fabrics for it,but not sure if there would be enough
for both.
I will be making cool-ties (sewing, not quilting) for our troops over seas.
anyone interested in this project can google cool-ties.
and I would like to become involved with Quilts of Valor. We have a local chapter, its just finding the time to join them to help make these quilts.
Probably not til summer when I don't work full-time +.
I have a suggestion for your first quilt that is bound, but not quilted. Consider tie tacking it with crochet thread or light weight yarn. It will keep your sandwich together and probably not bunch or shift as it would if you quilted it.
