UFO Busting Linkup

UFO Busting Check In

9/2/2016

2016 as the year to clear out some UFO projects and I've got prizes to help with your motivation! You are welcome to join in at any time. Each month we check in here with our progress and I announce the winner of the previous month's link up.

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 8 entries in the August post and the winner of the prize is Annie! Prizes are going to be surprises this year. Each month I'm going to try to tailor a prize to each winner.

While I don't seem to be making a lot of progress by the numbers August was the month that I finished a long standing UFO.

Finishing this was big for me because it represented a huge design block. I just could not decide how to finish it. Giving myself a deadline of my quilt club's show was just the motivation that I needed.

Here are my current stats:
Starting UFO 24
Finished YTD 7 (Goal 14)
Started YTD 3 (Planned 6)
Ending UFO 20 (Goal 15)
Veterans YTD 30 (Goal 40)
I'm going to try to knock out a few more veterans quilts before load another one of my months-long quilts.
Time for your update. Link your blog or give your update in the comments. To be included in the drawing you need to include your stats...

Congratulations on getting your "design block" challenge completed! I know exactly how that feels... that was my experience with my NY Beauty. So fun to share these triumphs, isn't it?

I started the year off with 51 UFOs and told myself that my only goal was to reduce that number as much as possible. Well, now I'm at 32. That's great progress in my book. Of course, I didn't finish those 19 projects... some were given away, some were sold, some were trashed, but I did complete 12! Here's the link to my blog if you want to see the actual accounting!

Goal for 2016 is 12 UFO finishes

I've got two more ready for binding but I'm in VA most of the month so not sure I'll get them bound in September.

My focus this year has been UFOs. The month of August was not my best month by far, but I am making progress and that is what I wanted.
I would like a week to just quilt and see if I could actually make better progress.
good luck to everyone on their UFO lists.

UFO starts - 28
UFO's done - 3 plus one quilt out of many for UFO 27

UFO in progress - combination of UFO #11 hockey flannels and #18 which are the 9 patch flannel blocks.
combination of UFO #21 which are solids with #27 which are the strips for baby quilts. I ended up cutting more strips of fabric so this UFO has grown! So far I have made six tops and finished one quilt.
#26 Dad's clothes - almost done with one quilt. Don't know how many I will end up making

I have had 12 completed quilts that were not on the UFO list.
