2017 Finish-A-Long: Goals for Second Quarter


It's time to declare goals for Q2 Finish-A-Long.   

I finished 8 out of 22 goals last quarter but brought most of those goals that were not finishes closer to being finished. 

I thought I would get a lot of UFOs finished up this quarter since I retired on Feb. 28   BUT they emailed me the other day from the old place of employment for 30 + years to ask if I would do some contract programming on a project that needs to be finished asap. (I really don't want to but the folks who previously worked for me, my friends, can use a helping hand right now and so I couldn't say no.)  I start work tomorrow.  I can work from home so my goal of becoming a hermit remains intact but now some of my ambitious quilty goals will probably suffer since gardening season here has also started.  Nevertheless...I'm still going to list a lot of goals because it gives me some of my many UFOs to focus on.  Even if I don't complete any of them I usually at least move some UFOs forward. 

1.  Rainbow Dresdens - It's in the hoop and being hand quilted!




2.   On Safari - Miscellaneous Happy Blocks in a safari theme will make a nice donation quilt. 

3.  At Sea - Orphan blocks and some blue scraps will make a nice donation quilt. 

4. 30s Reproduction Chunky Churn Dash - Need more blocks for large on point layout. 

5.   Happy Animals - Need more blocks (from a swap)


6. Coin Toss - Rainbow Chinese Coins from orphans and scraps. AHIQ challenge. 

7. Owls in the Barn Door - Hands2Help Camp Hobe donation

8. Bright and Wild - needs to be quilted for donation


9. Basket, Basket - Needs some hand quilting

10-13 - Four ABC I Spy quilts need to be quilted. I had 5 and finished one last quarter. 


14. Improv Trees

15. Selvage Quilt - need more blocks


16. Velveteen Rabbit - Needs hand quilting


17. Need a few more blocks and perhaps some thorns.


 
18. Snowflakes - need just a few more blocks


19. Country 9 Patch - a really, really old UFO. It's just blocks right now from a swap. 


20.. I've said it before...I really, really, really need a new purse!
