Second Quarter Finish-Along

4/16/2012

Ughhh...Fail.  I didn't meet my ONE goal in the first quarter of the Finish-Along over at Quilter in the Gap.  I came really really close, but alas my little one was born, and it just didn't happen.  The pictures below show the last photos I have taken of that quilt, but it is further along than that.  I have the four pieces sewn together, and since I am doing quilt as you go, I really only have one middle panel left to quilt, quilt the border, and then bind it.  About two days worth of work really, not much.  So this project is getting carried over to this quarter.
I also am going to add another project that has been sitting for far to long.  These two handbags that I am making for a friend.  They are also further along than this, I just need to take the time and finish them up.  This is also about two days worth of work.  So let's see if I am able to muster up about 4 days worth of sewing time during the next three months! HaHa.... don't hold your breath.

Fabrics for Uber Handbags
I have decided to set a new resolution for the year, a more realistic resolution.  Originally my resolution was to finish all my WIP's from 2011, which is about 14 projects.  Not going to happen, honestly.  So... my new resolution is to get one quilt finished per quarter.  I am happy to say that I did meet this goal in the first quarter by finishing the little boy car quilt that I shared last week.  I just didn't have that one on my Finish-Along list originally, hence the fail.  But that is OK, I finished one quilt last quarter, and hopefully can finish this one quilt this quarter!  Wish me luck!

2012 Finish-Along Second Quarter Goals:
1.  Finish Sherbet Pips Quilt
2.  Finish the Two Uber Handbags

Good luck, Marci! I love the fabrics you're using for those purses. And one quilt per quarter sounds like a fabulous goal!

Totally understandable about your lack of sewing time!! Hopefully this next quarter will give you a little more...and one finish is definitely worth celebrating!

Your projects are wonderful and your plan is good. I hope mostly you enjoy the time with those kids of yours.

Those sound like great new goals! I'm rather in awe of how productive you are. When I had #2, I feel like I did nothing for weeks afterward, let alone finish a quilt! :)

My o my, your second child, congratulations! With all the adjustments, not to mention lack of sleep, bringing a second child into your lifr & family is quite enough, a finish too is quite amazing, so failure to my way of thinking! Love your projects for 2nd quarter. Good luck & i hope you get some good naps!
