Quilty New Year's Resolution
#31
One quilt a month for me. I have so many started and so many quilts I want to make. I did it two years ago and it was a fun goal. Most were twin to double size and I was able to bless others with an unexpected surprise at Christmas. I have family members that do not have one of my quilts so..... some of those 12 will be made for them. Each Christmas I giving a couple of quilts to family until the whole gang has one. Two more this year!

Oh, I wonder where all of those 2.5 squares came from..... Our swap perhaps? I have lots too. Good idea to whittle down that collection! For both of us! I saw another of us swappers commenting......Good idea for all of us then!

Finish my UFO's before anymore piecing occurs. I admit I am more of a pieces than a quilter. I love picking out fabrics, cutting them, piecing them, ironing them, touching them. The quilting, not so much. But that is going to change. My 2016 goal is to master FMQ on my domestic. After all, it it hard to gift a pieced top!😉

I cut a lot of 2 1/2" squares for a GFG. I have a ton of them left, so I sew two together as a leader/ender. When I get 2, then I do 4, then 8, etc. When I get to 64, I add sashing and have a strip of blocks to sew another set of blocks to - eventually I will have a quilt made, hopefully this year.
My resolution is to finish a purple quilt for me, back and finish (learning to free motion quilting) some charity quilts, and reduce my stash. I also have some fabrics and patterns put together as a kit, but I resolve to not cut into them until some of my UFOs are done. I have my work cut out for me.

I like the idea of putting a list on my pegboard in the sewing room. I forget about too many projects that get pushed aside.
My 2016 goal is to identify and finish all the projects started before 2016. I am making quilts for all family members (a project my Mom started and never finished) and I've got a LOT of family members - and the grand nieces and nephews have started showing up. I do make 3-4 quilt tops a month, and now that DH is learning to use the long arm, I can concentrate on tops and let him finish them up.

We take the items and give to the individual residents, never turn in the whole batch at once to the home. Sad but we realized that most of the items not to get to the residents when there is a large amount donated.
