2017 Finish-A-Long Goals Q1

Here are some goals for this quarter's Finish-A-Long.  (In re-reading this, I see I did not claim these goals.  They are not "my goals," but instead they are "some goals."  Could this be an indication of my confidence in actually accomplishing them?  haha.  All I can do it try. ;))

1. Summer Sampler: This one keeps popping up on my list.  I decided to reconfigure the blocks into a different setting -- I have unpicked, re-sewn, and the top is almost finished.... again.  


2.  Trees Wall Hanging: I would like to be a little more selective in my making.  Sometimes I see something cute and so I make it, but I don't really have a plan for it.  Instead, I'm going to try and make things for which I have a plan.  I am starting with some more seasonal wall hangings for the wall in my stairwell.  I am nearly finished with this top:



3.  Heart Wall Hanging: Plans for another wall hanging for that same spot in my stairwell.  I have a plan and some of the fabric cut.  No pictures yet.

4.  Holly's Tree Farm Quilt:  The top is finished.  Need to prepare the backing, baste (ugh), and quilt.


5.  Dad's Fishing Quilt part 2:  This was another quilt I didn't love once it was finished.  I've chopped it up and recreated it.  I like it much better!  I need to prepare the backing and quilt.


6. Mystery Quilt: This is a big one -- I'm not very excited to quilt it with my little machine. So really, I'm not sure I'll do it this quarter (or year) because I don't have a plan for where it's going to go -- but just in case I figure it out, I'm putting it on the list.


7.  Persimmon 4-Patch:  I might add a border to make this a little larger, but otherwise the top is finished.  Again, I am not sure I will attempt this this quarter.  I don't love how this quilt turned out (I really wish I would have used a cream and navy for the 4 patch squares).  But just in case I find some motivation and decide to finish it up, I'm putting it on the list.
