Finish-A-Long 2018 Quarter 1 Goals

It's time to show everybody my goals for the 2018 FAL.  You can find the Finish-A-Long 2018 Quarter 1 link-up here.   In 2018 I'll continue working on my List of Projects PHD... (Projects Half Done).

This QA with Pat Sloan quilt top is complete.  It needs to have a back made, quilted and bound.



I'd like to finish this big card trick quilt for charity for my local quilt guild.



These blocks need sashing as the next stage.



I need to get caught up on my mystery quilt so graciously led by Kevin the Quilter.  Now that the mystery has been revealed, I think I may swap out the star parts for different stars that can be cut more quickly with my Accuquilt dies.  Stay tuned.



I need to get caught up on my Gypsy Wife QA.  I'm Waaaaaaaay behind.  The hard part for me is always picking out what fabrics to use.  I do have a big collection in a bag that is great for this quilt.



It's fun to work on my Go Four It quilt with scraps!  I need to turn this in to a baby quilt by March.  Then I'll have to turn the rest of the sub blocks into another by April for another baby.



I could work on my 100 Modern Blocks City Sampler quilt.  I haven't decided on a setting just yet.



I'd love to finish my Garden Party (pattern by Bonnie Hunter) quilt for my friend for her birthday in May.  Oh how I love this quilt!



I need a few more circles for my Picadilly Circle quilt.  Waiting to see what the October color is for the RSC17.  This is a slow-process quilt...



I'll continue my slow stitching project.  I don't think it will be done this quarter, but you never know...

 

I'd like to finish this Bonnie Hunter design.  It's been hanging on my curtain above my sewing machine for about two years.

 

I started a Kathryn Kerr 365 challenge for 2018.  It will NOT be done this year.  It's a block-a-day for 2018.  But I will be playing with a lot of scraps.

I have a lot of fun projects to work on.  Here's my whole list...
