Sounds like a good plan - one week at a time - think I will try to do the same - finsh 1 project a wk

My goal for this week is to contine on the quilt top that just today transferred from UFO status back to WIP!

I'd like to get one entire round done, but that may be a bit ambitious since I need to do some other projects (non-quilting) after work as well.

It is a queen size Around the World with 2" (finished size) squares that I am hand piecing. I'm to the point now that I've completed the diamond shape and am filling in the corners. This round has 15 squares per side.

Just so you know, I got curious and added up how many more squares I have left to add - it is down to 120 per corner. Yeah!

I want to finish my one block/swap (6 blocks) and put together twin sized quilt for Abbey. If I get those done this week will be very successful.

Ok I'm going to go out on a limb here.

I would like to finish the learners quilt this week. I have 4 blocks left. One will be a lattice block so that I can learn mitred corners. Another will be trapunto. The third will probably be the drunkard's path so I can try my hand at curves. The final block could very well be a charm block since I'll be working with scraps by this time. Or I may try my hand at a cathedral window. I don't know about that one it looks hard.

My goals for the week will be to finish my quilt for kids (1 already finished) and get 2 in the mail. Start a quilt dd sent me, maybe start finishing a quilt for dml. Don't know how much will get done, keep getting distracted by new block patterns. I am starting a pile of blocks not connected to any quilt! Maybe come the end of the year I will have enough blocks to make a couple of quilts, never know LOL.

sounds like great idea. A week at a time is much easier to handle.

The lattice block is done and I have to say I don't like mitered corners. They are a pain. I think I'll make square corners from now on.

Nice thread and a good concept. Well this is another week for me.

1. Get patch on water softener leak.
2. Clean house for quilting pals visit on Sunday
3. Finish paper piece section of Lavender/pink/green swap blocks
4. figure out why HST portion of above block is not the right size :oops: and make 12 new ones. I hope I have enough fabric.

Eddie from this board has a tutorial on the catherdral windows that he does step by step and seems much easier than the old way. It is under the Tutorial section.
