I was pleased with the dent I made in last year's list. It whittled down my UFO list considerably and left room for new projects I've been looking forward to making.
Carry-overs from last year
*1. Book Nook - just finished binding this one the other day.
2. Old Dirt Road - I pulled this out last year, intending to work on it, but it always seemed to end up on the back burner. I'd like to get this one in the finish column this year, but it would be helpful if I started it!
4. Snuggle Season - not really a UFO since I haven't even decided on a pattern, but the fat quarters are sitting in a bin and this one has been on my list for a few years.
5. Pond Friends - Ditto. Choosing patterns seems to be my Kryptonite.
6. Love You S'more - I made 1 last year but need a 2nd camping quilt. I'll use the same fabric, but a different pattern which is yet to be selected.
*7. Logs and Bricks - pieced and waiting to be quilted
*8. Knots and Chains - another one that is pieced and waiting to be quilted
9. 4-Patch Fun - still making blocks using Bonnie Hunter's leader-ender project.
*10. S'mores - ready to be quilted
*11. Land of Enchantment - I pieced this last year and am ready to bind it when I pick it up from Jackie and Sandy.
*12. Dusty Trails - pieced this one on a whim last November when I found this panel in the bottom of my western bin of fabrics. It's also at the quilter's. These are 4 of the blocks.
*13. Woodland Wonders (gingham quilt) - another top needing to be quilted, but I think may add a few more rows to make it longer.
*14. Into the Woods - ready for binding.
*15. Peppermint Bark Christmas - just needs to be bound
16. Balsam Gnomes - Cut this one out in November and made 1 tree and 1 gnome. I'm hoping to get this one pieced this month, but I'm now thinking I'll need 2 of these (one for each chiddler) so I ought to cut the rest before I put the fabric away.
16 - yikes! But 9 of them only need binding. New Projects up next.
17. Going Buggy - this is from Miss Rosie's Spice of Life Quilts. I think this will be a glorious scrappy quilt. I may make this one from a bin of reds, blues, and tans I have left over from an Americana quilt I made a few years ago.
18. Raise the Roof - another from the Spice of Life book that I've been wanting to make for years. Maybe this one should be the Americana quilt.
19. A pink quilt for our 4-yr old granddaughter. She's helping me with this one. 🥰
20. Plum Garden - I guess this ought to be categorized as a UFO since there are 42 blocks made. It's been in a project bin, but for some reason it's never been on a list.
21. I've had this print from a line called Hush-a-bye Hollow for many years and I pulled fabrics from my stash that I thought would work. I haven't settled on a pattern yet, but was just thinking of a simple row quilt with pinwheels or stars or perhaps just patchwork.
22. The Mountains Are Calling - I've started cutting for this one, but I'm intimidated by the pattern.
23. Saddle Ranch - I bought this as a kit, but I'm switching out some of the fabrics.
24. A plaid quilt - because I sold the one I made and I need one in my life.
25. A flannel quilt using this Holly Jolly Flannel- possibly using the Hashtag pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew.
27. Little Buckaroo - I bought these fabrics last year on sale, at a quilt store that was closing, and need to get them together for a baby quilt.
28. Pooh Bear - I bought this collection last November because I have a soft spot for this silly old bear and I'm itching to make a few quilts with it.
29. Homemade Holidays - I love these fat quarters and am planning an economy block quilt.
30. 8 Quilted Christmas Stockings - our girl requested Christmas stockings last year, but I didn't get to them. I spent a lot of time looking for ideas and making plans, but had trouble settling on concrete designs. Decision paralysis had a strong grip. These are a priority this year.
I'd better stop there. That's a longer list than I need, but as always, it's just giving me an idea of projects that I hope to tackle. It's not set in stone and who knows what will actually find it's way under my needle, but I've got a lot to choose from.
I'm a list maker, but I'm also going to run after that squirrel when it dashes across my path. 😊
