April Already? Time for a List...

4/11/2013

6 Comments

 
The first quarter of the year has come and gone.  Where does the time go, I know you feel it too!  With a new quarter comes a new list of goals.  I only finished one of my listed goals last quarter, you can see it HERE.  Though in self defense, I finished and started a ton of things.  I actually feel quite accomplished, so no worries about just one finish, this quarter will be more productive towards the list, I can feel it!  So here it is...

Finish-A-Long Quarter Two Goals (Month by Month):

Picture
1.  April - Cosmic Burst Quilt, I don't have any new pictures because I don't want to take away the surprise, but this one is already quilted and just awaiting binding.  It should be my first finish.  This quilt was carried over from the first quarter, I could have rushed to finish in time, but decided not to stress and just finish it in my own time.
Picture
2.  April - Two pair of Goodnight, Sweetheart Pajamas from the "Sewing for Boys" book.  I did make a tad bit of progress and have the two pair of pajamas cut out and ready to sew.  I hope to finish these in conjunction with Kids Clothes Week Spring (April 22-29.)  These pajamas are the last thing I will carry over from the first quarter.

3.  April - String Blocks!  Rachel at Stitched in Color is currently hosting a String Fever Event, so these blocks moved up on my list.  You just have to have a finished quilt top, so really that is all I am aiming for, but having it totally finished would be great!  I have a plan for these and am excited to get it laid out.  These blocks were from a bee and have been dragging around for about two years.  Crazy!

4.  May -  Wonky star blocks from a bee that I was in last year, these haven't been hanging around that long but the quilt will be for a special someone later this year, so I really want to get it done ahead of time.  I am possibly thinking of turning these on point and maybe adding in some larger wonky stars, I guess we shall see.

5.  May -  Bloom Bloom Pow, a quilt I started last quarter, this quilt-along wraps up in May, so I would like to finish on the same time schedule.  Right now I am currently piecing this one!  I love all that Flea Market Fancy Legacy!

6. May -  Strings Christmas Quilt, yes, I have two uncompleted string quilts.  I may try and get the top done on this one to enter into Stitched in Color's contest.  This is my big "maybe" project, but at least if I can get the top done, then I can just quilt it around Christmas time.  I only have 12 blocks finished, so unfortunately I think I have a lot more work to do with this one.  The odds of this one getting "finished" this quarter are slim to none, but heck, why not throw it in there.

7.  June - Y Seams Quilt, this is another Christmas present later this year, I have 12 completed blocks from a bee round last year.  This will be a throw quilt.  I am still debating as to if I will make more blocks or add in solid hexagons in between.  Who knows?  I can't wait to see how it will materialize, I love these blocks so much.
Picture
8.  June - Dancing Stars Table Runner, started in January, I currently have 6 blocks done (I think?) and need to have 14 total.  I can only tolerate paper piecing in small doses, so a few blocks each month, hopefully by June I can wrap this one up.  All the fabric is cut out, just have to piece it.
Picture
9.  June - Oh these postage stamp blocks have been hanging around for a while, and recently I found another Flickr swap, swapping more of these blocks, so I joined in and just finished up making 30 more.  20 to swap and 10 to keep.  Currently I have 20 blocks and after the swap I should have 40, which I believe will be enough to put this quilt together.  This one is last on my list because I'm not sure when the swap will wrap up and blocks will be received, but if I can, I would love to finish it this quarter!

I know this list is totally ambitious and maybe not possible, for me anyway, but it feels good to put them all out there and see what I can actually get done!

What a great list - you've got a great start on all of them, and each is so great it its own right! Wish you the best staying motivated.

That is quite an impressive list. The wonky stars in three sizes is very clever. I hope to do some string fever myself.

What a wonderful list, I even made you a block for a couple of those projects. I am looking forward to seeing how you do.
