This list is really funny. I want to scratch items off of it, but I don’t want to rush through them either. I find that, now, I pick up a project and intensely work on it until it is finished. Any projects on this list are projects I have decided I want to work on. At least I want to work on them at the moment. If I decide I don’t want to work on them anymore, I will abandon them.<\/p>\n

\n

Here is the list, again, still in no particular order, except that I have put some of the “mostly finished” projects at the end. This time, like last, I have moved the finished pieces off. Still 23 WIPs left, because I added the Wonky 9 patch<\/a>. Darn you inspiration!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Original Bullseye<\/span><\/a>: needs border, backing, quilting and binding, which are all hard to do if you can’t find the project. It is lost. I know it is in there somewhere. As I mentioned, I did a test and found that my original idea didn’t work. I think a plain border will set off the blocks fine IF I ever find the top. Bleah!<\/li>\n
  2. Corner Store<\/a>:  All blocks are made (an additional 11 were made on 6\/17). I have now sewn all the blocks together in groups of 4. On 6\/17, I also started sewing the groups of 4 to each other.<\/li>\n
  3. Spin Wheel<\/a>: really not started, but supplies gathered. Cutting fabrics as I go<\/li>\n
  4. Infinity blocks<\/a>: Am starting to think this would make a good nephew quilt.<\/li>\n
  5. A-B-C (A-Z) BAMQG Challenge<\/a> \u2013 I am actually not sure if this should be considered a WIP (Please say no!), because I just barely have enough blocks with which to make something. I am making good progress. I have S and T blocks on my mind. I am really thinking about just making all the blocks, putting sashing around them and then trimming the sashing a bit so the blocks are all a uniform size. They are not wildly off, but they are a bit off… I could bring them to BAMQG as the blocks are due. We’ll see.<\/li>\n
  6. Aqua-Red Sampler<\/a> \u2013 steady progress has stopped and the class more than the quilt is really weighing on my mind. As far as I know Frances<\/a> has finished her Dresden Plate, so perhaps we will start up again soon. The next class was going to be fusible machine applique\u2019, but I haven\u2019t gotten past cutting out the templates. Perhaps I should skip to machine piecing curves?<\/li>\n
  7. The Tarts Come to Tea<\/a>: I haven\u2019t quilted on this since April 2011. I need to work on the quilting. I was making good progress and then got sidetracked. I have been quilting another quilt and that is getting me back in the swing of quilting. Now that my machine is happier, perhaps it is a good time to take this piece out again? I would like to finish it.<\/li>\n
  8. Garden<\/a>: I started this piece in a class<\/a> with Pamela Allen in 2006. As mentioned, I used this piece for my beading demo for the 2012 EBHQ Voices in Cloth show (March 17), which means that I added some beads. I started on the machine quilting late in April and am almost finished with the background. I was kind of stuck on the flower petals, but may FMQ them now that my machine is feeling better.<\/li>\n
  9. Flower Garden<\/a>: I still find the \u2018flowers\u2019 too spiky. I think I need to soften them up a bit.<\/li>\n
  10. Moon and Stars: need to finish hand quilting. This quilt is not interesting. This is month 2 that I have thought this is a candidate for abandonment.<\/li>\n
  11. Pointillist Palette #4: Fourth is a series of 6 quilts; needs tiny square patches sewn together. Good leaders and enders project. I wonder if I cut the squares accurately?<\/li>\n
  12. See<\/span><\/a>: needs satin stitching.<\/li>\n
  13. Self Portrait<\/span><\/a>: started in 2006 at a class at Quilting Adventures<\/a> in Richmond, Virginia. I like the piece, but don’t know where to go from where I am. Mouth? Hair?<\/li>\n
  14. Spiderweb<\/a>: need to make sure that I have the right number of blocks for the size quilt I want to make. Need to make sure I have the border pattern and start sewing border blocks.<\/li>\n
  15. Under the Sea<\/a>: class project; like the design, but not the colors much.<\/li>\n
  16. Flower Sugar Hexagon<\/a>: sewed more hexagons together. Sewing Y seams is a bit of a chore, so I get tired of doing it after awhile.<\/li>\n
  17. Young Man\u2019s t-shirt quilt: have cut up the t-shirts and am still in the process of applying fusible. He cleaned out his drawers and found some more t-shirts to add to the quilt. Oh Yay! <– just a bit of sarcasm<\/li>\n
  18. New: Super Secret Project<\/del>: top, back and binding made. Ready to go to the quilter. Stayed tuned. \";-)\"<\/li>\n
  19. FOTY 2011<\/a><\/del>: at the quilter, needs binding.<\/li>\n
  20. Flowering Snowball<\/a><\/del>: Top and back finished 5\/13\/2012; ready to go to the quilter<\/li>\n
  21. Stepping Stones<\/del>: at the quilter, made binding, which she will sew on for me and then I need to hand sew.<\/li>\n
  22. Jelly Roll Race<\/del>: at the quilter. Needs binding, quilting, sleeve.<\/li>\n
  23. Wonky 9 Patch<\/del><\/a>: needs quilting and binding.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
