Keeping track of my UFO projects

UFO Check In and more veterans quilts

3/2/2017

I'm a day late posting my monthly UFO accounting but I really wanted to share the Crystal fabrics yesterday and I know that most of you don't care about my project accounting. But you might like to see that I quilted 2 more veterans quilts!

This was the last pair of quilts that I had to quilt so I wanted to get them finished so I can load that king size Rainbow Quilt next. It's time to quilt some of my own quilts for a while.

I wanted fast and I got them both done in an afternoon with simple loops and stars. I load one wide backing and batting and then quilt one quilt right after the other without having to reload a new backing. I pair up the quilts so that I can use the same thread color too. All of those things save tons of time so I can get more done.

As for my project accounting my only finished are 6 veteran quilts but I'm not bothered by that because I made such great progress on other fronts. I got the applique quilt center all together and all 4 borders glue basted and I got the mosaic part of my wall done. I just need to grout it and I'll have a giant finish for March. The applique quilt might be done March 2020 if I'm lucky.

I am going to start 2 or more projects this month....we'll see.

Here are my numbers, if you are tracking yours how are you doing?
Starting UFO 19
Finished YTD 1 (Goal 11)
Started YTD 0 (Planned 6)
Ending UFO 18 (Goal 14)
Veterans YTD 10 (Goal 40)

I like your stars and loops. I usually do way more loops and less stars. I'm going to try your way next time.

The double pinwheel veterans quilt caught my eye. I had to go find how to make it. But I notice that some of the blocks have borders or partial borders - interesting.

Started: 0

I'd like to get back to under 10, but that means finishing up some BIG projects, so it may take a while.

I really like the stars and loops design - very patriotic in one sense but would work for pretty much any quilt.

I'm really late posting about my UFO progress!

From my monthly goals (made at the beginning of the year) - I completed all my goals for the month.

I moved one project from the WIP pile to the TBQ pile - Yay!
But I added six new projects - Yikes! Two were planned - a class that I took last month and a quilt sample that I'm making for a friend. The other four were to take to a quilt retreat. I actually worked on one of the four; the other three are started in that the fabric is pressed and starched.

So here are my statistics:
UFOs - 4
WIPs - 6
NEW - 6
Completed - 0
TBQ - 11
