Since one of my goals for this year is to chip away at that list of UFOs, I've decided to start my count there. I'll cut myself a *little* slack and not include the stacks of fabric waiting for action as WIPs!
Some Progress
So, the UFO I was able to strike off the list this past week (or rather, move to another list of completed quilt tops yet to be quilted) is the one mentioned in my previous post, resurrected from the pieces of a set of place mats that was just not to be!
I'm also finally making some headway with another project that's been lying in a basket off and on for the last couple of years...
Now, I must admit I AM guilty of one new project! I've been lusting after one of the luscious AMH louLouthi flannels that Marie has at Cool Cottons, but since I rarely if ever work with flannel, I couldn't justify buying any. But sitting on my couch one evening, just dreaming up possible projects for this fabric, I figured why not make myself a flannel throw quilt?? Really, Lin, there's no reason you shouldn't treat yourself to a little gift, right?? So, today I picked up a lovely stack of flannels, which also happen to work with a few FQs I picked up a couple of years ago for burp cloths that never got made.
Now, the bitter truth of starting my count where I am...

Thank you, Lee, for providing us all a place to link up and share our endeavors! Please go visit the others at
Best place to start is with a list! Plus it's so satisfying to cross things off as you get them done :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the previous-life-placemats-turned quilt top! Can't go past a bit of Aviary 2 :)
The two tops look lovely. Really nice soft colours.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good start to working through your list.
Two wonderful quilts. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteYou are one brave woman to tally up all those WIPs--I'd never have the courage to do that! I just crawled out from underneath my flannel throw quilt (it migrates to my bed in the winter) and I love it. It stays put--doesn't move around during the night. You'll love having a flannel quilt, so don't feel guilty about getting some cottons to get started. Beautiful stack of colors!

I like list, I feel more organized then when having it up in my head, so good for you making a list and starting from scratch! Love those colors in your first two pictures and those look like fabulous flannels too!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful stack of flannels. No reason why you shouldn't treat yourself every now & again.
