Thursday WIP

Well, its Thursday, but better late than never, especially when I am not actually working on anything now, just waiting on fabric.

Since my last WIP check in I completed the Scrappy Trip along top.
 

 

 

I purchased Crocus Kona (way more purple than picture) for the border/binding, but am not in love with it and am thinking of ordering Cerise. 

 

 

 

While waiting for fabric to come in for flag work I pulled this out.  I ran out of the Ash Kona so had to order it as none of the three fabric stores in the area that carry Kona have this color.

 

 

 

The Scrappy String quilt has been put on time out pending completion of an UFO. 

That is my crazy plan for the year, each new project must be ballanced by the completion of an existing one from the list below:

 

 

Rainbow blocks, Chubby Stars QAL, American Jane blocks, Round & Round, Pinwheel Sampler, postage stamp, Swoon, Arcadia (HST which is what got called from the list this week to work on)

 

 

2013 UFO starting line

 Its time, to own up to the UFO/WIP I have and set a mark to track against this year.
Making this list was easy since I just took last years list and added some status updates.   The good news is that I was able to remove 5 from the original list that I completed in 2012 and I only added two new quilts that I started in the past year that are not yet completed (that's a nice way of saying sitting in a pile...)

New starts in 2012:

Swoon: I started this Jan 2012 and have about 4 blocks done and I will get it done this year!

 

Arcadia: This is a simple stripe quilt that I got started on for my bed but it got lost in the flag madness.  It started with a jelly roll of Arcadia I had been hoarding and I added some coordinates to balance color. I want this on my bed late summer, early fall.







From 2012 list :


Rainbow Blocks: I started these April (2011), a late comer to Rachels quilt along. I have about 1/2 the color blocks still to go but I have the fabric ready to finish up. update:  I did get some more done and have only 3 blocks left! 





Chubby Stars: This one is TracyJay's quilt along that I started August 2010... ugh... The little chain squares are all cut of else I would have re purposed the fabric awhile ago. A finish on this one will be either completing it or re-using the parts for some thing else. update: I moved this from under the serger to the closet in the last year




American Jane blocks: Also started spring 2011, this is all American Jane fabrics from different lines that I have about 1/2 the blocks done.






 36 patch: This is Crazy Moms quilt along from the summer of 2011 that I need more blocks completed to make into anything. update: Look for this soon!  Top is done and it is getting basted, to be quilted today!!!





1/2 Square Triangles: I started this with plans to do 5 blocks per day and be done in a month... yep, that worked out well.update: nothing.. I may have done a block or two, but this is going to the front of the line, well second or third in line







 Pinwheel Sampler: I finally got the top done but I still need to put together the backing and get it done. update: I can not believe I did not get this done... it just needs basting and quilting...  maybe this week?





Hope Valley QAL: last.... this was Crazy Mom Quilts Round and Round QAL that I ran out of gas on... round and round, and I didn't want to make a twin, I wanted it bigger, so I need to review and get it done. update: I have a plan! 





This Quilt Along was started in Feb 2010, but I am not sure when I joined in. I long since decided this was a life long project, but I would like to make some progress.





That's it, my list of UFO's coming into 2013.  There are a couple I am excited about and hope to get done in the next couple of weeks, and a couple that I am still thinking 'what was I thinking'...  and of course, I expect to start a new quilt this next week as well.
