In September I seem to have limited myself to three quilts. Batik August C, Star-A-Day and the binding on the DWR. Given the DWR and the Star-A-Day quilt are handwork I’m not surprised. Nothing like getting excited about finishing a quilt and/or starting a new quilt – although the new quilt seems to have taken priority.
So it’s October and time to set this month’s goals and the 4th quarter goals for the 2014 Finish Along.
Setting the October goals is easy. 31 Stars, at least half of the remaining binding on the DWR, September & October’s Alphabet BOM blocks and at least half the remaining Batik August C blocks.
The 4th Quarter Finish Along Goals on the other hand…
I always seem to be finishing something that I didn’t plan on finishing. This last quarter it was the Abbey Memories. So, I’m going to do a 4 part list: Realistic; Possible; Long Shots and Just Dreaming.
Realistic:
- Finish DWR
- Batik August C
- String HST
Possible:
- Scrappy Trips
- Christmas Row Quilt
- Christmas Crazy 8s
- Diamond Links
- Thangles BOM Yellow
Longshot:
These are the quilts/knitting that I’ve said I wanted to finish this year and yet they haven’t been worked on this or have fallen by the wayside.
- Green & Cream Swap
- Compass Lone Star
- Hancock Stars BOM
- Hardware
- Easy As Pie
- AMB August A
- Christmas BOM
- Candy Sunflower Seeds
- Jared Takes a Wife
Dream:
These are quilts that I wanted to get the top done this year, but they don’t count for the Finish Along unless they are quilted. Stranger things have happened, so here they are.
- Orca Bay
- Sew Scrappy
- ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas #1
- ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas #2
Of course having outlined all this I could still pull a quilt out of the stack of tops and quilt it, get a wild idea to work on one of my other UFOs — or start something new. After all I do need to think about Kalli’s graduation quilt and what about Bonnie Hunter’s winter mystery quilt….
I’ll update the link to the Goal Setting Party next week when it opens.
