Last year, I set a goal of 20,000 sq. in. of charity quilts. I had the summer off, quilted like crazy, and have finished almost double that! However, rather than setting the bar too high to achieve, I will set it at 25,000 sq. in. for this year. With this goal, I can make various sized quilts for different groups--like a queen-size for equilter.com's response to Hurricane Sandy. My UFO pile is greatly reduced. I have held to the resolution I set three years ago to reduce that pile and not to add to it. I also have not bought fabric in 3 years except for backing (when I'm too lazy to piece it) and for special quilts, like a friend's wedding quilt.
