February Goal: 3 UFO's
1. Queen size dresden plate: Complete quilting & binding
2. Yellow & pink baby quilt: Quilt & bind
3. X's & O's baby quilt: Sandwich, quilt & bind
1 has been going for over a year, also the first one that I didn't do a complete all over design. I have 2 1/2 outer borders to finish the quilting.
2 & 3 haven't been around long but need to be completed & donated.

Looks like some awesome goals, my goal is simple this month (Find my sewing room and work on something!) I have a couple of former WIP that have become UFO's So the first is to do a memory quilt that was promised over a year ago.
and I have been looking at a denim quilt that needs to go back to church. I brought home a large stack of 5 inch squares and just doing a simple 4 patch, I am about 1/2 done. Unfortunately life, weather and machine repairs have gotten in the way.

I'm all for goals. Pics...the computer has decided to upgrade and making the process so confussing, it's frustrating.
#1 is probably 3-4 yrs old. Needs quilt/bind
#2 had 1 block finished, more complicated than I imagined, so got put aside. Recently pulled it out and got most of the top placed. Then another project got in the way. So I want to finish it this month.
#3 was started last fall in memory of the Paradise/Camp fire in Northern California. We live in similar terrain-it could happen to us. The theme for the next gallery hanging is "Fracture" and I think this quilt shows how Paradise is fractured. It'll always have scars. There's talk of rebuilding it with fire prevention features and be a model for mountain communities. This is the highest priority for Feb.

23 scrappy started, still cutting bits
23 flimsies to quilt (oldest is about 6 years)
32 in planning (most have fabric on hand, some are ideas/dreams/thinking stage only)
96 Total
May not be the mostest, but gotta be up there! heehee!

Flimsy names: Baby Mouse, Toddler Counts Colors, Baby Girl, Twin Insect, Alecia Space, Puppy Lamb, Birch Branches*, Uncle Wonk*, Brown/Rust*, Kentucky Album (a BH)*, Red Spinner*, Plus (charm quilt, no fabric repeats)*, Red Kite*, Clementine*, Jacob's Ladder*, 12" crumb*, Aunt Caroline (a BH-charm quilt, no fabric repeats)*, 6" crumb*, Chisel Stripe*, Grad quilt, BYO sampler, 64 patch*, unequal 9p

That Curtain Call looks like a great pattern for scraps!

Whoa are there some admirable plans out there...great ideas folks. But oh my, quiltmouse...you counted and labeled them all...brave brave person! We will see you back some time in mid April!
Yes SBG...each block takes about 20" of one color and 10+" of a second of a 2.5" cuts...think of all those bits of binding that are left over from a project (they usually read "solid") and pair it with a colorful match. It's from a book called "Slashbusters" made by Gathering Friends.

Made progress on my own UFO and also one of JJBlaine... She sent me her snowman quilt to embroider. Jess, I got 1/3 of the faces done. They are all different, all have orange carrot noses. So cute!
On looking at the Chunky Churndash, I think I'm going to leave it with minimal quilting. I like the way it looks, soft and drapey... so I will leave it more like a comforter than a quilt. And on to the next!

I'm going to need to get busy on my other projects if I'm going to be ready to quilt it when you're done. This month I'm working on baby diapers and diaper covers for the grandson that is due on Valentines day. I fractured my wrist a little bit, so it is going frustratingly slow. As soon as I have those done, I hope to get some FMQ done on a Thimbleberries UFO.
It was originally a Lap size BOM, but somehow I managed to turn it into an almost-king size quilt. I'm going to give it to a friend I have known for over 25 years. I made quilts for her kids (who are my godchildren), but somehow never got around to making one for her.
