For the last few years I have done 12 in 12 months. This year four were baby quilts. Yes, these are quilts but they are not as daunting as larger quilts. I am a scrappy quilt maker and I find these can go together rather quickly once you get over not planing every little detail of color placement. I also make a quilt during the Christmas break, spring break and then through the summer I can churn them out pretty quickly because I am home for several days at a time. When I am working full time, not much quilting gets done except finishing the hand work on the borders. This year, I gifted all of my colleagues with a quilt as I am retiring from my full time faculty position, 8 quilts. I do not plan on more than 12 quilts for 2018 but I do want to dive into the UFO's. That should get me to 12 by... June. It won't happen but I will keep moving ahead. Design, piece and quilt at YOUR pace. It is not a race but a journey of love, adventure, skill and beauty.
