By now you all know that I like Karen Brown's website and videos. One of the Videos is all about revisiting your UFOs. Do you still want to finish them? Do you even like the fabric? Do you like the pattern? What is keeping this project in your pile of projects?
I decided to revisit my UFO list. First I took off all of the projects that I have finished. Then I took off all of the projects I haven't started. My reasoning behind this is that they are more dream projects than unfinished projects. That takes it down to 6 projects from the 2 year old list.
- Star quilt - Just needs a label
- Irish Chain quilt - need to add borders to make it more bed friendly
- Arianna's HS quilt - being tag teamed between me and Tatianna
- Mom's Quilt - need to get some black fabric and some muslin as well as darn some holes
- Betty's quilt - repair the block with the hole and find some backing
- Star 9-patch quilt - need to add something
Now I need to add the unfinished projects I have started since I made that list.
- Star quilt - Just needs a label
- Irish Chain quilt - need to add borders to make it more bed friendly
- Arianna's HS quilt - being tag teamed between me and Tatianna
- Mom's Quilt - need to get some black fabric and some muslin as well as darn some holes
- Betty's quilt - repair the block with the hole and find some backing
- Star 9-patch quilt - need to add something to make it bigger
- Aurora's quilt - needs borders, backing and quilted
- Scrappy Joy quilt - needs borders, backing and quilted
- Cobble Stones and Windmill quilt - Blocks need laid out and assembled
- Church Ladies Aprons quilt - blocks need laid out and assembled
That brings the total up to 10 projects. Now I need to prioritize the projects. I think the order I want to go with is the projects that are closest to being done first. But I have to also take into consideration my enthusiasm for getting them done. I am also going to set a date for completion on a couple of them. As sort of goal setting.
- Star Quilt has to be first since it just needs a label. - by 4/25.
- Aurora's quilt - She is wanting her TV quilt to be done and it's hanging on the long arm - by 5/2
- Scrappy Joy - Also hanging on the long arm - by 5/16
- Cobble Stones and Windmills - lay out some time this week, it's out and readily available
- Church ladies apron - lay out sometime the next week, it's out and readily available
- Irish chain - pretty close to being done just need to make the flying geese borders
- Star nine patch quilt - not sure what I want to do with this yet.
- Arianna's HS quilt - I lost interest in this quilt about 11 years ago. Mostly because Arianna wasn't into helping with it. Tatianna has tackled it and she will be bringing it back to me to finish up, or when she is sick of it. I think the plan will be to work on it just a little at a time.
- Mom's quilt - want to finish it but not sure I am good enough. This quilt was hand pieced by my great grandmother for my mother's 7th birthday. Mom turned 7 in 1934. It needs borders and a backing.
- Betty's quilt - she gave the top to me to practice long arming on. One of the squares has a hole in it. I need to decide if I am going to replace that square or just applique over it.
That is my current inventory of UFOS. Of course it's not like I am going to get them all done before I start something new. I already have a bunch I want to do. Remember there were 9 projects that I took off the list because they weren't started. Since then I have added so many more that I want to do. I guess I better decide what I have to get done before I can start on a new one.
How many projects do you have? How do you plan to get them done? Will you start more projects before you do?
I have about 4 quilts that I have started that I need to finish up 2 of them are baby quilts for a couple of grandbabies, then one is for a very good friend of mine that I have to finish putting it together, and my daughter's which is all together but I need to make a sandwich and then quilt it. I have 2 baby quilts that need to be started and done one done by July 21 my first great grandbaby, then other onll1 needs to be done by end of August first part of September. Then I have a twin quilt to get done, starting to cut the blocks out now it is going to be a 9 patch quilt, then am doing a window box quilt for my daughter's boyfriend which needs to be done by the end of June. Then I planning making my twin grandsons birthday quilts for their 4 the birthday in October 13th. Then I have been asked to make holiday place mats and napkins to match by Thanksgiving and it is a set of 4 or 8. Plus a tree skirt for Christmas. Also a quilt for Tom's sister who lives in New York. So I have my hands full and I need to get busy it is getting really close to the end of April and I am really behind. When you have a 5 year old living with you trying to find time to go down to your craft room to work on the quilt is like pulling teeth since he won't stay down stairs with me he wants to go up stairs and get into every thing even when I have things for him to make or watch movies on a tablet he won't stay down stairs and I have to run up stairs to check on him. When preschool was in I had about 21/2 hours before he came home from school on Tuesday and 31/2 hours on Thursday of free time and no worries him getting into things but that is no longer the happening so short time in the craft room. But I will get done going down starting tomorrow.
