Thinking about 2012

As the year begins to think about drawing to an end, I am starting to think about what can get finished up this year and what should go on the list for next year.  The first step was to sit down and make a list of everything in progress, in a bag or a box or in some stage of planning. 

So, in no partricular order, here I go:

1. Smith Mountain Majesty is cut out and in a box ready to be sewn.

2. Goose in the Puddle is also cut out and ready to be sewn.

3. Orca Bay hasn't been started yet, but I have pulled the fabric.

4. Jamestown Landing has some piecing done and is mostly cut out.

5. Rainbow Crumbs has rows assembled

6. ScrapHappy Squares needs to be put together with sashing

7. Nine patches are extras from leaders and enders

8. Another Irish Chain is in progress as leaders and enders

9. Another Four Squares quilt is in progress as leaders and enders

10. Connecting Threads Sampler (Star Something?) is sitting in a shoebox. (can't find a photo -- how old must that be?)

11. Applique Baskets are handwork in progress

12. Cheddar Bowties are leaders and enders in progress.

13. Midget Blocks are coming along slowly and surely. 

14. Crumb Along blocks are in a stack, not sure if there are enough for a quilt

15. Cathedral Stars - need to find the ruler to make more blocks

16. Dear Jane is ready for handquilting

17. Shoot for the Moon - in chunks ready to be assembled. 

 I think that's it for now.  Here are my first thoughts:

• There are too many leaders and enders to be going on at one time.  Maybe I should choose the one that is furthest along and see if it can be completed sooner rather than later.  
• There are 4 Bonnie Hunter Patterns that are fairly intense, I think those will need to go one at a time, of those, the mystery wins out for pure fun of following along reasons. 
• I'll need a handwork project for car trips over the holidays, either baskets for midgets could fill that role.  If I prep the backgrounds on the midgets I could start embroidering the names, that would be fun. 
• First up are the crumb and scrap blocks, those can be finished up fairly quickly I think. 
• The list got longer as I searched back looking for photos to link.  Maybe I should put these in reverse chronological order by start date?

Just went back to check my UFO list for this year, even though I didn't participate in the challenge, I did pretty well on the list.  Just Starlight remains, I'd better get that puppy done!  I think I will officially give up on Depression blocks or call it a table topper.
