WIP Wednesday 12.4.13

Now that it's December I need to look at what I want to accomplish in 2014.  My WIP list is long...  I would like to get my WIP list down in 2014.  I'm not going to promise to not start any new projects because I know that I will.  I know I will continue to participate in the monthly Block Lotto drawings and do a few things for my local quilt guild.  Here's 29 finishes I hope to complete in 2014.  It's an ambitious list, but I think I can do it.  This is what I would like to accomplish in 2014:

Here's what happened this week:
I completed 2/3 of step 1 for Celtic Solstice.



I got four of twelve blocks done for step 2 of the Downton Abbey QA -- Notice this isn't even on my finishes for 2014 list!



I sorted and organized a lot of my scraps.  I cut a big jar of 2"squares.  I will do these as "filler" blocks here and there for when I need some mindless sewing and make a scrap vomit quilt.


I'm working on the binding for my tall geese Block Lotto quilt.
