Still, these seem to be new projects, so I thought I would inventory my UFOs and see what I was facing. One year (1996, I think) I buckled down and worked only on UFOs and finished 9 quilts. That was a record. Most, if not all, were already started and I didn&#8217;t quilt them all, but causing them to be quilted counts for something in my book.<\/p>\n<p>This list in no way implies that I will discontinue starting new projects or finish any of these.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bullseye: finally found directions for doing the border the way I want it. Just need to do it<\/li>\n<li>Garden from Pamela Allen class<\/li>\n<li>He Tried to Make it Up to Her: needs back and to be quilted. St. JCN has to dig it out.<\/li>\n<li>Her Eyes were Bigger than Her Stomach: needs a back and to be quilted. Very active quilt; probably not my best design, but a mile marker in the quiltmaking journey.<\/li>\n<li>Kissy Fish: ongoing hand beading project<\/li>\n<li>Leaf quilt: needs something that I don&#8217;t have; candidate for abandonment; sad, though, because it is a friendship quilt<\/li>\n<li>Nosegay: top complete<\/li>\n<li>Pointillist Palette 4: Night<\/li>\n<li>QA Challenge Quilt: need to fuse the parts and rubber stamp the words.<\/li>\n<li>See: started in a David Walker class. Needs fusing, stitching on of fused pieces and quilting<\/li>\n<li>Self Portrait from Pamela Allen class<\/li>\n<li>Serendipity Puzzle: on the design wall now. Five more blocks to piece.<\/li>\n<li>Sharon&#8217;s quilt: blocks must be sewn together. After Serendipity Puzzle I will finish it. I don&#8217;t want a wedding quilt to be hanging around when a baby is due<\/li>\n<li>Solid Star Friendship Quilt: need more friends so they can make stars for me in solids with black<\/li>\n<li>Spiderweb: foundation pieced project, still piecing. Need to create the templates for the border blocks<\/li>\n<li>The Tarts Come to Tea: need inspiration. Improvisational quilts are not the same experience when you do them alone<\/li>\n<li>Thoughts on Dots: top complete<\/li>\n<li>Women&#8217;s Work 2: needs focus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just for fun, here are the quilts on my mind. In some cases I have purchased fabric, but no sewing has been done, so they are not yet UFOs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Denyse Schmidt Chocolate Boxes: see the post from August 11, 2006 to see the fabrics I will use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40900\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40900\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pict6307det.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-40900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pict6307det-300x259.jpg\" alt=\"Choloate Box detail\" width=\"300\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pict6307det-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pict6307det-768x664.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Pict6307det.jpg 898w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40900\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Choloate Box detail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This a pattern that can be purchased from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quiltworksnw.com\/\">Quiltworks Northwest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>San Mateo County Fair <a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_IlKX5cJn1Zk\/RZNPepVJB8I\/AAAAAAAAAFM\/9g4y4bPUlvQ\/s1600-h\/PICT6438.JPG\">Dot<\/a> quilt<\/li>\n<li>Paper pieced Nativity scene: I downloaded this pattern when it was free a few years ago and have never gotten up the energy to be as organized as I need to be to make this, but I still want to make it.
