Feb - UFO Report

Because I've accomplished very little since my last report, I'm going to make this rather abbreviated:

    Summary:
    Number of Projects at Start: 24
    Number of Project Completed*: 4
    Number of Projects Added: 6
    Number of Projects Unfinished: 26

    * Completed here means finished, re-purposed or gifted.

    Progress This Month:


  • Botanical Shop Hop Quilt - Progress: I got this far:



    Then I stalled, I don't like the blue blocks. I'm not sure what to do, but it will probably involve a lot of time with my stitch ripper.



  • Old Tobacco Road - This is my 'Sew-Between' project. I keep it in a handy basket by my machine and everytime I come to the end of a chain of stiching, I sew a pinwheel together, or a 1.5" Half-square triangle. I love using Bonnie Hunter's Ender/Leader technique. My progress is slow, but steady.



  • Marissa Pinwheels - This is a pattern from Roxanne Carter I am using fabrics from Moda's Marissa line, it was going to be for my MIL, but I made her something else. I think I might have worked on this for about 10 minutes this month! LOL






  • Lap Quilt Swap IV




  • Gabriella's Baby Quilt My cousin had her new little baby girl. Gabriella is ADORABLE, so I HAD to start a baby quilt for her! Unfortunately my camera still isn't back from vacation, so I don't have a picture.

      Great progress, and you can never have enough projects going at once. I really like the lap swap quilt. And the first one - get rid of those large blue blocks - what if you just took those out and made it a smaller quilt? Just a suggestion. By the way I love all the blocks in your previous post!

      I think I've told you this before (?), but this is such a great thing to do! I think it helps re-evaluate projects and prevent them from being stuck in a dusty corner somewhere, destined to be a UFO forever.

      On a different note, I sort of like the blue blocks--perhaps it looks different to you in person...cameras don't often reflect true colors, and tends to subdue prints. But it looks good from here!

      I think you are moving right along! This is such a great way to keep projects moving forward by being aware of where you are in the process. I enjoy seeing your progress. The Lap Quilt Swap quilt is looking beautiful!
