Happy New Year! I am going to do something that I NEVER do. I'm actually making a resolution this year. I am normally the type of person that follows the "if you don't make a resolution then you won't be disappointed when you don't accomplish it" motto. Yes, I know that is so pessimistic, but that truly is how I feel, and yes, low and behold, I haven't been disappointed in myself for years! It works, try it! Ha-Ha! But, this year will be different, and I have known for several weeks now that I will actually make a resolution this year. Woohoo!
My New Years Resolution 2012: To finish all the WIPs (works in progress) from 2011.
Plain and simple, right? I think so. So then today, I open up my Google Reader and see that Leanne over at She Can Quilt has posted this list of unfinished projects that she plans to finish up during the first quarter of 2012. How cool is that, exactly what I was planning to do. Then I realize that she is posting as part of a quilt-a-long of sorts. Rhonda of Quilter in the Gap fame is hosting what she is calling a Finish-A-Long. Perfect! Basically, you make a realistic goal of what you can finish during the first quarter of the year, post about it now, then link up again at the end of the quarter with your finished project! Easy peasy! I'm in, sign me up!

Since this needs to be a realistic goal, and I am expecting a baby sometime in the next 23 days (my c-section has been scheduled!) I am setting a truly realistic goal. Just one quilt! I started this quilt a little less than a year ago, and all four quadrants are pieced, and this one will be quilt as you go, so I will be quilting each section independently. I picked this project first because I have all the supplies needed. Quilting thread, backing, border fabric, binding fabric....and oh fudge I forgot I am out of batting. Oh well, i can get that or send hubs to the store for it! So there we go, goal number one for the first quarter of the year! Wish me luck! Want to join along? Click the little button below!
