New Years Projects Goals - Part 2

Well, right after I posted the last blog I went into my sewing room and found a few more quilts waiting for me to finish them.  I hope this is it but wouldn't be surprised to see a few more turn up. So, here they are:

26. Basted and ready to quilt.

27.  Still need to stitch around the kitty appliques (not the real kitty looking things over).

28 and 29.  Tops complete; need quilting and binding.

30. Needs stitching around all the appliques, a border, quilting & binding.  COMPLETED AND DELIVERED TO MY NIECE, KAREN.

New Years Projects Goals

I refuse to say "New Years Resolutions" because I am just setting some goals that I will work toward during the year.  No pressure, no stress.  Okay, maybe a little stress, but I'm trying to minimize it a bit.

So here are the quilts/projects I have started - or am planning to start.  My goal is to complete at least 12 of these this year.  Some of the quilt tops may be taken apart and made into smaller quilts, totes or pillows.  Most will be left intact and made into quilts.  Some are very small (doll quilts. table toppers, wall hangings); some are a bit larger - bed-sized from twin to queen.  23 of the 25 quilts below were begun before 2016 (the quilt of the month with sewhooked.com) started January 1, 2016 and will continue for the full year.  Fandom in Stitches is having a X-files quilt-along called "I Want to Believe" which starts starts January 6, 2016.

1.  Top complete - needs quilting and binding.  COMPLETED AND DELIVERED TO MY NIECE, ROBIN.

2.  Top complete - needs quilting and binding.

3.  This will probably be the backing for another quilt.

4.  Top complete and Lilith approved.

5.  Top complete - needs quilting and binding.
