Last report January 3, 2024
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 finished 3 ufos in January. I feel like I keep showing the same finishes too many times. But, I want to end the month of January, and, start planning the month of February.
I wanted to finish 2 quilts In the 'to be quilted closet' before I did any other UFOs. I finished....
1. too many circles - finished too many circles
2. carolina chain is finished. But, the weather has not cooperated with photos.
I worked on these older Ufos to finish them
3. assembling rick rack nines was my One monthly goal for january. I made the goal and added it to the quilting list. This will be my February One monthly goal to have a finished quilt.
4. portage lake block of the month - open the box - I really really like this kit and quilt. But, I wonder if it is more than I want to do right now.
5. mini churndashes - assemble -I have found the 6 inch churndashes that I planned to use in the quilt I want to make. I am excited to combine 2 older ufos into one top. I have started the trimming, and, I have sewn a few twosies. It will be one of my regular piecing projects for social sewing and open sews in February.

ufo projects for February
3. glitter - I worked a little with these blocks in January, and, will make them a part of my regular piecing projects in February. I have them all in twosies and a row together. There is a lot of seam matching.
4. churn dashes
5. split 9 patch -This is new for February. I will open the box and see where this older Ufo is in the assembly stages. I am pretty sure all the blocks were finished as leader and enders in 2013. I have 245 of them.
next on the longarm
1. rick rack nines
customer pause
2. show off
3. faux table runner
4. scrappy log cabin

Three finishes is a great start to the year. You've got a nice mix of projects for February. Thankfully it's a leap year, so we all get one more day to meet our goals for the month. Good luck with yours.

You've had really good success finishing up your UFOs with this plan! Good luck working on the next batch!
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot done and it looks as though you'll be equally ambitious in February. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat is a ton of finishes for one month. You have been having fun in the sewing room.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great plans there! I am a bit jealous. I am just doing virtual quilting this month, away on a holiday. Stay safe and sew on !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your PHD progress in January! Three finishes; amazing, and how fun that one of them is Carolina Chain! I'm excited to see you you've quilted yours, since I have yet to decide what to do with mine. :o) Thank you for linking up.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your lists of projects. I love that Portage Lake quilt too. I didn't buy it because it had appliqué.
