I have promised to try and end the year 2013 in a UFO free state ! Eek !
Foolish I know especially looking at the long list of things to be done.
I am counting anything as a UFO if I started it before this year began - there that is my definition! So if I haven't started it yet I don't have to finish it this year but will still try to anyway!
I have a list of 13 projects so that means at least one a month - better try and get 4/5 done in the first quarter as I did absolutely nothing in Q3 last year!
So here we go:
1 First project is also my oldest! Dating from 2005! I will get this one done!
2 Spools quilt - top completed - thinking of making this the centre of a large spool block! Then maybe an improv style back would suit!
3 Wonky Quilt - blocks complete from a swap and there are lots more than this - just need to piece it together and get this one quilted
5 Stars - two blocks made! - this might just become a quilt back - If you know me you will know I like them pieced!
It is my Lazy Bum project for January to make 10 more blocks! Imagine my surprise when I found some pieces already cut and ready for stitching but only in these fabrics - think it needs lots of different colours so must go and cut some more - I love a scrappy look. Lots of plaids in here and some with GLITTER running through!
Now there is little chance of me getting all of this done but I am ever hopeful and what doesn't get done this quarter will roll forward to Quarter 2! If I got 4 out of 6 done I reckon I'd be happy...
Linking up with Leanne! What about you?

1 First project is also my oldest! Dating from 2005! I will get this one done!
I just need to piece the back, layer it up and decide how to quilt it - but it is very big! And that is putting me off at the moment..
2 Spools quilt - top completed - thinking of making this the centre of a large spool block! Then maybe an improv style back would suit!
3 Wonky Quilt - blocks complete from a swap and there are lots more than this - just need to piece it together and get this one quilted
4 Scandi Hearts table runner - I designed this block from scratch though it may already exist out there. Thinking of a runner in linen and light coloured prints and solids - would be a lovely finish for February!
5 Stars - two blocks made! - this might just become a quilt back - If you know me you will know I like them pieced!

6 Asterisk blocks - two blocks made! - will this be a quilt? Maybe another quilt back then? Or more likely a quick cushion or now I think about it a tote bag!!?

Hi Nicky just a few then!!
ReplyDeleteI do love your heart x
lots of lovely projects to get done this quarter.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!
glad to see my favourite is the no 1 item..
Best of luck Nicky!
ReplyDeleteI like that you kept your list doable, instead of telling us everything that needs doing. Looking forward to see if you meet your goal of all WIPs finished by the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteWhat no ufo's at all by the end of the year! Impressive! I have a lot to do if I'm to achieve that, which sadly I'm not, so I'll stick to a couple a month and see where it takes me! I have no doubt you will achieve your aim!
ReplyDeleteGulp! Your first quarter list has more on it than my list for the entire year ;o) Good luck - we'll all be cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteI reckon you'll easily do 4/6 ;)
ReplyDeleteThe spools are fabulous and I love seeing those wonky houses!
Great list N! You can do it! I'm still in blissful denial that I have any wips at all! Jxo
ReplyDeleteGo Nicky go. You can do it, I know you can. Di x
ReplyDeleteThese will be fantastic finishes!!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely finishes for you there
ReplyDeleteLOVE the spools quilt, and think it would be so clever to make your blocks into the center of a giant spool!
ReplyDeleteGo for it! (I think you may be mad, but no harm in trying, LOL)
ReplyDeleteOh you work so well with the FAL - you'll finish the lot!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that no UFOs by the end of the year!
ReplyDeleteI love all your projects, but the spools quilt is my favorite. So pretty! : )
ReplyDeletelove your over-achiever list !! I'm sure you'll get them done though - as Helen says we'll be cheering you on ! and thanks for reminding me about the wonky blocks - I haven't even listed them on my WISP list :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with this lot!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great group of projects and I am so hoping that you will finish all of them and that by year end you will have no UFOs. Maybe I should try for that too.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful to-do list! I can't wait to follow along on this journey :)
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful. Good luck.
