I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another. My top priority this year are the quilts in the to be quilted closet.
I was able to finish some oldies but goodies and some that hadn't lived in the to be quilted closet very long. My goal for the year was to seriously make a dent in my quilts that needed to be quilted and I have. I started with 34 and I have 6 ready, now. Of course, as I finish an older ufo it also needs to be quilted.
I finished 6 ufos in August. 29 ufos for 2024
In August, I wanted to finish 2 quilts In the 'to be quilted closet' before I did any other UFOs. I did the two I planned for August. I finished....
1. neutral territory from 2013 is finished
 |
| 48 x 60 |
2. cathedral stars finished this year My one monthly goal for August
 |
| 85 x 85 |
I worked on these older Ufos to finish them
1. garlic knots -ready for quilting
2. scrappy twirl new in March -I just can't seem to take this quilt seriously. Maybe I should put it back in the box. But, no, I will not be intimidated, I am leaving it on my design wall and will wait patiently for inspiration.
4. halloween stripe runner from the beginning- top is ready for quilting
5. kaliedescope - mary huey workshop -ready for borders

No shortage of quilting to be done for you, we are all in the same boat with you, hehe. Cathedral Stars is stunning.
ReplyDeleteYou've made some fantastic progress on those UFOs. And you have a plan for next steps. Very inspirational! I have a big backlog of tops waiting to be quilted too. Guess piecing is my favorite thing.
ReplyDeleteSix UFOs for August and 29 for the year is nothing to sneeze at. You've really made your 5 quilts strategy work for you.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so impressive. I'm in awe of your accomplishments every single month.
ReplyDeleteSuch an organized list! No wonder you get so many quilts done. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
