This year I want to try and finish up lots and lots of UFOs. I'm going to try assigning a theme of the month in order too motivate me to move UFOs that fit that them forward. January's theme was KIDS! KIDS! KIDS! and I moved forward 20 UFOs that fit that theme plus 2 others. I also told myself that this year for every 5 finishes I could reward myself with 1 new start. So in January I earned 4 reward points. Of course this is just a game of solitaire and the rules may change at any point.
So, anyway, I used a reward point on a Broken Wheels (9 inch finished blocks) new start. I posted last month that I was the winner of 40 fat quarters (FQs) and that maybe I should consider making an aqua/purple/red quilt with them. And now I am.
My first reward point was used on a Lil' Baskets new start. I posted about that the other day.
So now I have 2 points left to use on new starts AND if I finish 2 more quilts that's worth another point!
Now back to this month's theme of Hearts and Flowers and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color pink.
And sew on...

These look very complicated! Like the idea of your reward scheme,very inventive.
I love your reward points! And yes, you deserve those points. The FQs you won are gorgeous. Enjoy! ;^)
With all the finishes per month, you definitely deserve reward points! Pretty blocks.
Reward points! What a terrific idea. Love these blocks.
I have earned 2 reward points so far this year. I'm stealing your idea. Let me know if there's a user fee ;-)
I like your reward points game a lot!! Altho' I must admit my reward may be some nice chocolates hahaha hugs, Julierose
Haha -- "game of solitaire" Good luck with UFOs!
Reward points-good idea. It worked when the kids were small too. :0)
That is a great idea! Beautiful colors for your Rolling Stones!
I am working on that same pattern, Donna Jordan calls it Rolling Stone. I used a layer cake and white cut yardage. Very little waste, but apparently it is taking me longer than you. Nice to see in a very different colorway.
I think the Reward Points idea is EXCELLENT -- I may even find a way to implement a version here, too. THANKS!
Your rules remind me of Calvin and Hobbes and their Calvinball game -- whatever works for you. Congratulations on the FQ bounty (what a concept: new fabric, not scraps!). And a nice way to use it.
I like the reward points - But, I didn't enough ufos completed in January. Rolling stones will be fun
