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.
I have made some progress this past month. Each project has moved further along. This time of year, I am not as excited about the projects. The 5 quilt project has helped me stay on track and complete more than I had hoped. I have officially, not started any new projects this year, and, that has been hard. It is hard for me to find inspiration if I can't get all giddy about a new project. Although, with an aging memory, most of the UFOs are almost like new haha.
1.. strip tease pattern- I have begun rows. I will make 4 before I start the top. I have to find clever ways to motivate me to match all the seams. Christmas movies to the rescue.
2.. spoolin around leader ender challenge 2013 - The spools top is finished. I really like it and plan for it to be on my bed for awhile after the Christmas quilt is put away.

3. mini churndash - I have faithfully made a block a day since I pulled it out of the ufo closet. And I have an idea, now, on how I want to make the quilt. I want to mix my batch of 6 inch churndashes in and eliminate that ufo at the same time. So, this will be the first 5 quilt project of 2024.
A good quilty Lucy friend gave me a few mini churn dash blocks, so, that I can have her in my quilt, too. I love what she did. Her blocks always make me smile.
4. shirt anvil - My goal for November was to finish all 80 blocks. I am nearly there.

you are working on a lot of quilts all of them are done
ReplyDeleteHooray for your endless progress! I don't know that I could go without starting any new projects. Really that seems impossible. But I do love your anvils, and so on. I think the sailboat looks awesome. But then, that's me. At least it looks to be a smallish size.
ReplyDeleteYou have done really well with your 5 quilt challenge this year. I did the "no new projects" the last couple of years, but found I do better on getting the UFOs finished if I add in a few new things too. Sounds like you are really close to finishing up a few more.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great plan in place. The strip tease quilt really caught my eye. It will be especially fun to watch that one come together.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are on gifts that I need to make as well as items to make for my booth that will sell for gifts.
