Wednesday Wondering

Just visited Bonnie Hunter's post for the day and love this quote:  "And suddenly you know - It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings."   This is why I enjoy quilting, working on projects I have started, but then something sparks a new start.   Worked hard today, not to start anything new.  Mystery on Ringo Lake units are being put together.  Still have a ways to go but love how the pieces are going together.  Two small Halloween quilts will be ready to quilt tomorrow.  Working to get a finish or two and then the magic of a new start will happen.

77 UFO's on 2018 List

This is the year to get more finishes.  My list is all set up in excel.  I have committed to the Stashbuster 2018 UFO challenge.  77 UFO's in various stages of development.   I reported my first finish yesterday.  Second finish is close behind, as the binding was put on today!  I am feeling motivated to "git 'em done!"

Then of course today, I found four more partial projects hiding on the sewing shelves!   Hidden in plastic containers with UFO's already on the list.  So that takes me to 81.   I have reduced another project from the list by putting the material back on the shelves and filed the pattern away.  I am not committed to completing it.   This allows me to use the project brown material in Bonnie's mystery quilt, On Ringo Lake.

Sister's Choice, number 8 on list, is actively calling me to get it done.  Today, I spread the 19 completed blocks out in the spare bedroom.  Yes, this top needs to be completed.   Target date:  February 28. 

Here are nine Sister Choice blocks completed last spring!  This quilt has traveled to three quilt retreats!  I can see why it is calling to be completed.

2018 quilt top finish

I can do this...get more of my UFO's finished.  I'm off to a good start.  This was a recent start in November and an actual finish today!  My first for 2018.
