UFO Challenge 2011

Patchwork Times

Judy from Patchwork Times is having a UFO challenge.

Okay, I wasn't going to officially join this challenge.
But, hey, why not, right?
I have so many UFO's to finish.
Might as well have some incentive.
So, here is my list.

1. My Hexagon Star quilt.
For this one, I just want to have all the top pieced. Since this is a hand pieced quilt top and it's queen size. I already have 9 rows done, but some are not sewn to the main body yet. There are 15 rows of 17 stars for this top.


2. My Sundays Best quilt.
This quilt top is done. It just needs to be sandwiched and quilted. This is a twin size quilt.

3. My Shabby Roses quilt.
This is a wall hanging quilt. It need to be hand quilted.

4. My Sew Modern Bee quilt
I have the last border almost done on this top. Then it needs to be quilted.

5. My sister's quilt
I have to put the top together, then quilt it.

6. Between Charming Friends quilt.

The top is done, it just needs to be quilted. 

Completed January 2011!!!!
7. My picnic quilt.
This is a small quilt. It just needs to be quitled.

8. My Gifts of Grace quilt.
I have 5 blocks completed, and two blocks almost done, 2 blocks that need to be started.
I hope to have this quilt top done and this quilt quilted.

9. My Summer blues quilt.
This is going to be a queen size quilt. I have most of the blocks done. I just have 5 more blocks to make and put the top together and get it quilted. Should have this one done in know time.

10. My Summery Dresden quilt for the Maple Leaf Bee.
I still don't have all the blocks back for this one. But I should soon.
I hope to have this top made. If it gets quilted, that's a bonus.

11. To hand quilt my hexagon star quilt.
If she picks #11, before #1, then I will defer to #1 as the quilt top is not done  yet. Then I'll just switch them numbers.

12. My Rocky Road to Kansas quilt.
I have 6 blocks done. 6 more need to be made. So, I just want to get this top done. If I can quilt it too, that's a bonus.
 


Disclaimer: If I have extra time to finish one of these projects earlier than I will. I'm sure I will have other projects pop up through the year. So, if I do finish some early, then I will replace them with the new project.

Okay, So that's it. I have lots of projects that I want to start. And lots of fabric that I want to buy. But my husband wants me to use some of the fabric I have first before I buy more. My sewing room is going to burst from all the fabric. So, I plan on getting these done and also making some charity quilts with some of my fabric. That should help reduce my fabric stash.

Wish me luck!!

Hugs

Ariane

You have some beautiful WIPS and many of them are quite far along. I think that sometimes just taking inventory is a motivator. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress towards meeting your goals.

You have some beautiful UFO's to finish. I've been working on a list myself and it is scary to realize how many things I've started but not finished.

All your tops are sooooo fun and different from one another, you certainly have a variety..... It will be so fulfilling to get some UFO's completed. I wish I had mine here but...in time.
