last report September 30, 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.
Again, health issues impacted my goals for October. I just didn't focus well or want to sew much. But, I feel better, for now, and I want to finish strong for the year. I never thought in January that I would have finished 36 ufos this year and nearly empty my over burdened 'to be quilted' closet. That is motivating to keep on going.
I finished 3 ufos in October
I wanted to finish 2 quilts In the 'to be quilted closet' before I did any other UFOs. I only finished one. But, the second one is on the frame.
2. lozenges - I did not finish this one ....yet - It is on the frame
I worked on these older Ufos to finish them
1. halloween stripe runner is finished

3. 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. It is embarrassing how long I have procrastinated this project beyond leaving it in the closet for a few years. But, the plan was once it is out of the closet, I would work on it but I didn't.
4. midnight flight - Finishing all the quadrant blocks was my October one monthly goal. I did - yipee
5. tiny tuesday - finish the blocks - I have black and brown to do.

Happy you are feeling better and motivated! We all go through slumps now and again. Congrats on all of your finishes. :)
ReplyDeleteI went back and looked at the previous post for scrappy twirl. I suggest making the half blocks with background fabric. That would make a nice frame and you wouldn't have to add another border. This isn't going to be a large quilt since you only have 31 blocks. Just get it done so it's off your list, you will be so happy to have it finished.
ReplyDeleteYou've done so well this year. An off month is almost to be expected and you've certainly the reason to not be at the top of your game. Good luck with your goals for November.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've had a lot of finishes this year. Well done!
