I really want to finish off some projects that have been literally littering my closet:
- The 1930's BOM Quilt - this is the quilt that started my quilting journey 9 years ago and I think it is time it got finished. I got stuck on the borders and I am still not sure what I want to do. Some appliquéd vines and flowers would be awesome, but not realistic at this point. I've got to do some thinking.
- Scrappy Alternating 9 Patch - I started this 8 years ago and got hung up on trimming the blocks and not knowing how in the world I would quilt it even if I did finish it. I'm not really into the colors, but I know my daughter will like them.
- About 7 years ago I bought a whole bunch of Christmas fabric on clearance to make Christmas tree skirts. What a great money maker! Anyway...Now I have a tote of half finished Christmas tree skirts. I want to finish/gift/give away and basically get them out of here.
- 6 years ago I made a black and peachy/pink top out of a scrap bag I got at my LQS. Again, I got hung up on the border. I want to finish this and donate it. It is not really my style anymore but is still really pretty.
Wow, that is quite the timeline of ancient projects!
Here are the ones I want to finish from this year:
5. Quilt the Tree Quilt
6. Finish my Brother's Blue Quilt
7. Cousin Presents
8. Anna's Baby Quilt (and make a tutorial for it?)
Cut fabrics for Anna's quilt
Planned new projects:
9. Upholstery log-cabin
10. Kid's Crazy Quilt (quilt along?)
11. Twist on Tradition Bee (that I started!)
12. Finish Bee Improvisational Bee and suggest another round (or join/start another?)
13. Solid Drunk Love inspired lap quilt for the living room in colors inspired by this window. Oh yeah, and finish up those throw pillows too.
Oh yeah, and keep on working on my Grandmother's Flower Garden. I would like to have the top finished by the end of the year.
Hummm...That list is looking a little bit long but a girl has got to dream!
I totally agree, aim high! Thank you so much for linking up, I love those fabrics you've cut for Anna's quilt, I can't wait to see what you turn them into :)
ReplyDeleteI have a 1930's Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt on my project list that is over 10 years old so don't feel bad! Great list! I can't wait to see your finished projects!
ReplyDeleteEh if nothing else you've put the list out there to keep track of all the possible projects you could work on. Good for you for putting some older WIPs on here. I have an old quilt top of my Great Aunt's with actual feedsack fabric in it that needs quilting. Not sure 2011 is the year for it though...
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous stained glass window. Can't wait to see your Drunk Love take on it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice list. Happy holidays!
Great list! My list is almost all incompleted projects that have been hanging out as well.
