Last January, I posted a list of UFOs that I found in my sewing room. It was not all inclusive, I found  a few more throughout the year. But it was a list of UFOs that I wanted to eventually finish. I did want to take time to look at this list and see how I did before creating a new list for this year.

1. My envelope blocks.

Done! And sold in the local Habitat for Humanity Quilt Auction.

2. My Metropolitan Fair churn dash.

Still not done! I did add the borders but the quilting has me stumped. I need to give myself a deadline for this!

3. Log Cabin blocks.

Done!

4. My Shenandoah sawtooth stars.

The blocks are now all done. Finally! But sadly, it is still a UFO.

5. This has been a UFO for longer than I can remember. I put it on one of my lists to finish last year and it didn’t happen. Sigh.

Done! I will share finish pics soon.

 6. This isn’t really my UFO. These are blocks that were signed at Daughter #2’s wedding in 2013.

Done!  I finished this and gave it to Daughter #1 for her birthday this year.

7. The more I worked on these album blocks, the less I liked them. I need to make something and get them out of my life. Done! Or perhaps I should say GONE! I passed these off on a bloggy friend, Kathy. So they are off my list!

8. This is another very long standing UFO. The prints were purchased in Amsterdam in 1998! I started piecing this not long after. I have a very limited supply of these fabrics and have never been able to figure out where to go from here. It is too long and narrow. I am loathe to take this apart but it might be the only answer. Not done. I haven’t even touched this.

9. Another hexie hand pieced project. I have worked on this in fits and spurts over the last year or so. I have been stopped by the fact that I feel it needs an infusion of new scraps. Not done, although I have made some progress on this. Now it looks like this:

10. A little black and white project that I set aside because it was so darn tedious! Maybe I will get back to this. Not done. Although, I have a reason for not finishing this. I hope to get back to it this year and when I do, you will understand why I was hesitant to move ahead with it. How’s that for cryptic?

11. Hmmmm….a wee little challenge that I initiated with an online friend. Back in October….or maybe September…. Done!

And here it is:

12. Calendar blocks from 2010. This too was on a UFO list to finish last year. Done!

Here is the finish:

13. Pumpkin seed blocks that I appliqued while traveling last summer. The idea was that I would eventually use these in a medallion quilt. Not done. Still marinating in the cupboard.

14. Dear, dear Jane….I started these blocks in 2009 I believe……

…..turned into Calamity Jane…. But she is done! 

15. These gorgeous blocks were gifted to me by a bloggy friend last year. I haven’t forgotten them, Jan! They will become a quilt for ME this year. They are not all the same size, not even close. So that is likely why the original maker never finished the quilt. I want to take a weeks vacation and do nothing but work on these. Sigh. Not done. 

16. I hand pieced these blocks sometime after we moved back from France, which was 15 years ago. They would make a lovely baby quilt for a little girl. Not done.

So out of 16 items on this list, I was able to cross off 8. Without this list, some of those would not have gotten done. So I would say, not bad. But I hope to do better next  year. Time to create a new list. Undoubtedly, some items will look familiar! But that is another blog post.

Thanks for sharing the journey with me. I enjoy blogging and it is gratifying to know that so many of you enjoy following my quilty adventures.
