2nd Quarter goals

Well, First quarter was productive in knocking out some of those UFO projects, with 6 finishes and that means making room for new projects to get started while finishing up a few of those other stragglers. So I'm linking up again for the next round of the FAL

1. finish up the Stash Bash Revamp project -- I came so close to finishing it last quarter.

2. I know that I will be finishing up the 2nd item that will be in my Kitten mini swap -- I'm leaning toward a mini sew together bag. 
3. I want to finish up my Tula Sampler Quilt -- I need to sash it and get it ready to be long armed. 
4. I still have the Scrappy Cross roads in my basted pile 
5. the spell bound quilt is currently in the process of being quilted
6. I hope to get back to tessellations and finish up the other half of the blocks to start planning a layout. 


7. still needing to finish up the blocks for Wanta Fanta -- not all of them have came in from the hive mates yet and I still need to make about 20 more blocks so that I will have a quilt large enough for hubby. 
8. Swoon is still on my want to make list and I am thinking about changing up my initial plan and incorporate a solid for the diamonds in with all the prints from Rock N Romance



9. Moda Modern is still hanging around and it's looking more like it will be an abridged version of this huge quilt -- I have about 1/2 of the blocks completed. 
10. Lucky 21 is something that's still hanging around.
11. My sister has requested a cross quilt that she saw online -- no pattern for this one, just the image so that should be fun. 
12. I'm looking for a project to use my Proiry Square fabric 
13. There are 2 scrappy trip along quilts for charity waiting to be quilted
14. Sew together pouch as an angel gift 
15. Kate Spain Christmas Spectacular quilt -- North Woods comes out in June, so really this is a 3rd qtr goal but I could go ahead and start sewing all those HST that this project will entail.

16. I want to start working on the bag pattern I got for Christmas 
17. I will be making a first year clothes quilt for a little girl, whose mom really loved the one that I made for her brother. 

18. I've been wanting to make a large star quilt and love how quickly the Moda Love star goes together.

As an extra, I am sure there will be a swap or gifted item needed at some time this quarter to distract my attention .

Eighteen projects, that's not to bad. Some are far more likely than others but I am still working on my goals for the year to purge out more stash than I bring in and several of these projects should make a sizable difference. I'm also working on bee blocks every month and one block of the month project.

  1. 18, gulp! I'm glad you can do this! I forgot about the Tessellations quilt. Still love it. I'd want to do the Swoon in Priory Square. Where are you donating the charity quilts? I'd love to have a monthly or bi-monthly charity quilt/pillowcase sew. Can't wait to see these are they progress!
