I'm in again! I was cleaning my sewing area and made a list of my UFO's. Some are in the very early stage of having pieces cut for them, partially sewn, etc, to needing binding. I didn't prioritize but I think that would be a good idea.

One of my UFO's is from a HST Challenge last year and the gal running the challenge wished her quilt had been bigger. She added wider borders but decided to run another challenge this year and will offer 2 blocks a week for 25(?) weeks. The best part is that one block each week will be the same as last year so I have 1/2 of the blocks made already! Yeah! Plus I have enough material to make the other blocks with the exception of my background fabric which I may be 1/2 yard short. So I am hopeful that I will have a new quilt on my bed by the end of summer!

I am also between 5 and 25 but barely. Lol! I have 24 but 10 of those are baby quilt tops and I may need to enlarge some and then add batting and backing, pillow turn, top stitch, and hand off to someone to tie.

My main order of business is to finish my son and his fiancee's quilt which is not in this number since I just recently started it. I will work on UFO's as a diversion.

I know I will start other projects too.

I also want to try and finish some UFO's with the quilt-as-you-go technique and have them available for fundraisers.

Happy New Year!

Connie
