On Quilting Friends an online community, one of the members issued a challenge – now the details are a little fuzzy, but basically to list 10 UFO items, and complete them before starting any other projects.

It has been several months since I’ve updated my list… and a few projects have come and gone, so were never added.    So I’m working on a few now.  Some were from classes/demonstrations from my quilt guild.   And some are just ones I’m doing.

Some of the items on the list are not really UFO’s, but WIPs, but they do need to be done too.

Current List of 10 UFO items

  1. My very first quilt (when I was 9 years old): fix, size, sandwich, quilt, bind, label, post pic
  2. Curve Play quilt: piece 24 blocks completed, sandwich, quilt, bind, label, post pic
  3. Bear’s Paw quilt (Oldest DD): 6/6 blocks completed, borders, sandwich, quilt, bind, label, post pic
  4. Intertwined Squares: pieced, sandwich, quilt, bind, label, post pic
  5. Beading Experiment: piece, sandwich, bead, quilted, bind, label, post pic
  6. Flight (Bargello #2): piece, sandwich, quilt, bind, label, post pic
  7. Fast Scrappy Quilt: piece, quilt, bind, label, post pic
  8. Christmas Attic Window: piece, sandwich, quilt, bind, label, post pic
  9. Strip-quilt – blocks, border, sandwich, quilt, bind, label, post pic
  10. Scrappy Snow-ball quilt: blocks, border, sandwich, quilt, bind, label, post pic

Looking at the list this way, it breaks down the project, and makes the goals of completion seem more achievable.  I’m looking over the list, and realize that they are achievable… except, that how I envision them being quilted, and my current quilting level of experience don’t quite match.   I think I will have to work on that this year.

GOAL FOR 2010 – Practice quilting techniques, and find motifs that are of interest!

Have you updated your List of 10 lately?  And what is your goal for 2010?

It seems like forever since I’ve blogged… even the “Adding New Post” page has changed since my last blog entry.  I was sitting here, thinking about the several projects I have in progress, and what I would like to put into our Guild’s Quilt Show, and I thought I should update my UFO list.   And its been August, since I’ve updated that list.  I think I may have a few things missing on it.  Wow… I have a few blogs I could write, just from looking over this list.  I think I need to get busy.  *grin*.   I received a tri-pod for Christmas, and I think I need to get it set-up to take some photos of projects I have finished… but have not posted… as well as for my own archives.  Hmmm… speaking of such… my Quilt Journal is in sad shape… haven’t kept up with that either.  Another to do list to write up!
