I took a cue from Watson and checked the 2020 Goal thread that was started this time last year by tallchick. What are you quilting goals for 2020? Yup some of them were accomplished, but what a detour many of us had. Who would've thought that mask making would be a way to reduce stash?
These were my 2020 goals and kind of a repeat for next year!
1. Finish a quilt and not let it go to UFO land. I started 6 and finished 3 of them. One is I consider a WIP. Started some mini's that I plan to finish soon.

2. Continue to work on the UFO quilts. Our guild offered a challenge this fall for the coming year and this has been a great incentive for me. (I'm also on the UFO challenge thread on the QB.) I finished 12 UFO's this year...all of them full to queen size. A great feeling as I look forward to finishing more! In my head counting up the flimsies and some of the WIP's that I plan to finish.

3. Use as much fabric from my stash to make quilts and only buy what is needed to finish a quilt. Most of what I bought this year was for intended projects...definitely more fabric out than fabric in. One piece was because it is perfect for my sister and a new 2021 quilt will be one for her.

4. Make #2 Grand's graduation quilt. He doesn't graduate until 2021, but I want to be ahead of the game when in comes to making graduation quilts. #1's quilt is done for this spring, but #3 and#4 are in 2022. This didn't happen. I'm still waiting for the T shirts. We haven't gotten together June and with recent Covid spikes it might be a while. Graduation reception has now been rescheduled in July, so I will have some time once I get the shirts. Need to check on what the 2 Juniors want for 2022 quilts.

5. Make donation quilts (small and mini) for Grand's grade school, local hospital, and fall church fundraiser. That didn't happen but got others done instead.

6. Continue to work on FMQ skills on the LA. I'm now using pantographs and enjoy it. Every time I use the LA, I learn something new...maybe ruler work will be a new goal in the upcoming year.

Thanks for starting this thread again, tall chick!
