I'm going to join in this year since I am not working right now. I got several old UFO's done in 2020 as I resigned from my job (28 years) in March and started sewing almost everyday.
I have 2 tops ready to go to the LAQ as of today, I also have two tops at the LAQ right now, should be getting them back in the next week or two.
I have 2 T shirt quilts I will be working on this year for friends
I have the fabric for a two color quilt that I've been planning to start for several years now, this is the year to complete this one ( blue and white)
I have several block swaps from the last several years (boomarang swap) that I plan to get finished this year.
I also hope to do 1 top a month for church for donating to overseas and the local homeless.

Mona, goals and accountability help me get things done. Welcome to the UFO Challenge.
Today is my sewing group and two UFO's will get binding attention. Then labels and out the door to Comfort Quilts. There's a new lady organizing Comfort Quilts so need to make new plans to connect.

Drum roll.....I have a finish! the charm quilt I was almost finished with at end of year is now bound and threads all clipped. I need to find my phone to get a photo. I have pictures of my December finishes, but they are on my phone, too
Now what is next....

I don't know if this counts as a UFO....but when I did my nephew's quilt there were alot of scraps leftover. I saved them and am making 6.5" blocks. They're crumb style...but perhaps something can come from nothing? Anyway hello to everyone.

I too will be transferring some UFO’s from my 2020 list to a new 2021 list... I will however, be starting some new projects and not limiting myself to just UFO’s.
I am ready to quilt a door banner I started this weekend...a pineapple .. Then on to my first UFO For 2021.

Oh, my! I totally forgot the partial quilts I inherited when my SIL passed. I need to add at least one of those to my list just to honor her excellent piecing. Most aren't my colors - very pastel or horror - a blue and white Irish Chain. I like Irish Chains, but not blue.

Well, I got my Jan. UFO project sandwiched and am in the process of quilting it. It's a bit of a beast, but seems to be going pretty well. I want to have it finished by the end of the week. My reward will be starting a new project. I'm also planning on finishing up a WIP that I started in Dec.- not a UFO since I've been working on it all along, but I'm trying to keep it from becoming a UFO LOL!
