On January 1st I guesstimated that I had 40+ quilt tops waiting to be quilted. The next day I took a quick count of those that were "where the were supposed to be while waiting to be quilted". The count was now at 55. Then two days later I had found 12 more in closets and totes. So, currently, the number is at 67.
As so many people do at the beginning of the year I decided to set some basic quilting goals for the year.
- Quilt these tops
- Buy no unnecessary fabric
- Work on UFOs
- Use the stash
- Participate in PreCut Party
- Declutter the Sewing Room
With those goals in mind I have made a list of daily tasks to aim to accomplish. Having several different tasks each day helps to keep my back healthier. It won't happen everyday but here's to hoping it happens a lot.
- Mount or quilt a top every day - one day mount, next day quilt
- Spend 1 hour at sewing machine working on UFO
- Do precut project as L/E
- Declutter/cleanup one trouble spot
- Bind
So far the goals have helped me stay focused and on the tasks that I want. I have now completed two more tops. Finish #2 is from a block swap in 2003 (I think). We called it Chicken Feed but I can't find any blocks online with that name. The top was probably pieced maybe 10 years ago. Now it is done.

Finish #3 is a Triple Four Patch, also a block swap. This was from 2005. The top was probably pieced around 5 years ago and now it's finished.
