UFO Challenge Update

At Sew Day, we started our fourth month of the UFO challenge. My list is thus far:

          • Serendipity Lady – this month’s project
          • Paris Cell Phone Walletdone
          • EPPic
          • Rose Petrillo Bag
          • Megan’s Bone Enigmadone – this project hasn’t been pulled, but I had to finish it to send it to a friend. 
          • Sheffield
          • Sun hat
          • Chickadee
          • Extra large project bagdone
          • Joni Tote bag
          • Catalan Storage Cube
          • Pandora Charismadone

Every month when the number is pulled, I groan. These are projects that I theoretically want to finish, but groan when it actually comes to working on them. I don’t know why, especially since I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I actually finish one of them.

I have been contemplating UFOs recently as I see how easy it is to switch projects and put blocks away and move on. I am working on the Four Patch Fun quilt(s) and the 1-2-3 Mosaic. Neither are really feeding my soul, but I am determined that will not go into the fabric closet as UFOs.

I have a couple of projects on my mind on  which I really want to work. I saw a portfolio/folder video for which there is no pattern, as far as I can tell. I would happily buy it if there were. The video shows enough detail that I can sew the bag. The issue is sizes, so I have been thinking about that.

I am also very interested in the quilt I designed for the Chaos with a Twist class. The next class is all about construction and choosing fabrics. I have that nailed and really want to start piecing.

There are also projects on the list I really want to make. I have an idea for how to use the Catalan Storage Cube and was really hoping it would be pulled this month. I also want to use the Canvas Vue fabric I bought from Sewfisticated to make one of the Joni totes.
