My local quilt shop is having a contest for 2014. We pay $1.00 (sometimes $2) for each project we finish --- at the end of the year the shop matches our dollar amount and we spend that in the store. For 2013 I earned $143.00. Finished 59 projects last year. My list this year consists only of quilts or sewing projects that I have already started -- I have about 54 listed. I have my strategy planned already -- The quilts that are pinned and ready to quilt and bind will be the first to be finished. Then I will work on the quilts that need backings made, then pinned, quilted and bound. Just yesterday I completed 20 blocks of a quilt that I started last year. I figure even if I don't finish a quilt if I work on it then it is that much closer to being finished.
