UFO Busting November Check in

UFO Busting Check In

11/7/2016

Yes, I did forget to post this on Friday AND forgot it all together in October! October is my lost month. I had so much fun playing with Laura all month that I forgot everything and made nothing and I'm OK with that. Sadly, they are leaving tomorrow.

This month is going to be the last month to report progress. I'll announce a winner in December and then the UFO busting project will close for the year. I haven't decided if I'll continue in 2017 because I'm really itching to start a couple of new projects. Maybe we'll do a quilt along in 2017 instead. What do you think?

To report your progress and be entered for the drawing post a comment below with either:
- a link to your blog update
- a comment with your counts for the month in the format that I’m using below

There were 10 entries in the September post and the winner of the prize is Terri! Prizes are going to be surprises this year. Each month I'm going to try to tailor a prize to each winner.

My biggest accomplishment for October was helping Laura finish her quilt. I can't count it on my list but I'm happy that we got it done.

Here are my current standings. Clearly, I'm not going to make my goal of 20 UFOs by the end of the year but I'll take whatever progress I've made. It's still an improvement!

Starting UFO 24
Finished YTD 7 (Goal 14)
Started YTD 3 (Planned 6)
Ending UFO 20 (Goal 15)
Veterans YTD 36 (Goal 40)

Last month, I finally put the blocks together for two quilts for MY bed! Both need borders and quilting, but they're destined for my guild's show in March, so I hope to be binding them by the end of the year. One quilt is part of a series (one for each bed in the house) that was started in 2001! The other one I started a couple of years ago but got sidetracked when my guild went crazy for the pattern. Tonight is my guild meeting and I can't wait to show off!

I'm game for a quiltalong next year. Other than one UFO, that I've finally gotten back to, I really have finished up all mine that have any chance of getting done soon.

One UFO finish in October
http://blog.maryquilts.com/2016/11/03/finished-58/

Started 2016 with 36 UFO's
Have finished 13 YTD
Have started 21 new quilts (only 5 of these are complete)

I really thought I was making better progress but at this rate my UFO number may go up next year - again.

Well, I am not moving as quickly as I would like, but I got a few things done. I got more done of others than for myself. That is the true meaning of balance.
Wishing everyone support on what they are working on.

I did not join the UFO's. But will have several for next year and I love quilt along.

Starting UFO - 28
Finished UFO - 3 with 3 that are partially done because multiple quilts will be made, but at least one was finished so far.
New quilts started - 14
New quilts finished - 14
UFO in progress - 1

I looked back on my list for this year and oh there is so much I need and want to finish! Vicki, I have to thank you for doing a UFO busting project for the last couple of years because it has helped me stay aware of what I need to finish. If you decided not to do this next year to change it up a bit that is ok by me, but I will still keep a list for myself to track and post my progress on my blog as I think this is a valuable list!

Here's my update from 01Jan16 to 01Nov16

UFOs - from 7 to 4
WIPs - from 8 to 9
TBQ - from 7 to 8

I started 1 new project in October and had no completions.
For the entire time period, I started 6 new projects and had 9 completions.

I've really appreciated the accountability of having to track my projects and report in every month. I've started my planning list for 2017 and finishing up neglected projects will continue to be a priority.

Thanks so much, Vicki, for doing this!

October
Started January with - 15 (2 BOM, 2 Quilt-Alongs, 11 UFOs)
Finished in October - 3! The baby quilt (new) started in September, and a table topper from the BOM, and I’ll list that the BOM ended with me having 11 of the projects tops completed.
UFOs - Timeless Traditions BOM- all blocks are now constructed and star points sewn on. I’m so close to checking a BOM off the list! I’m not making any headway on the other UFO’s, not even touched sigh.
New Starts in October - Christmas tree skirt
Projects in process - still 10 since I added a new project
