2018 Finish-a-Long Goals Q1

Hooray for 2018!  It's always kind of exciting to start a new year.  I'm not much of a goal maker, actually -- I can't seem to follow up on them.  But I have been fairly successful with my quilting goals.  Probably because I love it!

So here are my goals -- 3 of which have been on my lists forever.  Eventually I'll get there.   
1. Mystery Quilt -- this has been on my list for a while.  It is big.  So I keep putting it off.  But this past month I'm a little closer -- I have the backing ready, and the batting cut out (I need to piece two pieces together.)  So I'm hopeful this one won't be on next quarter's list!

2.  Summer Sampler Quilt-a-Long -- I keep putting this off because I kind of want to hand quilt it, but I don't have a quilting frame.  So sometimes I think I'll just machine quilt it, but I'm still not sure!  I think I'll love this one when it's done though -- the background fabric is Shot Cotton, which is so soft.

3.  Sports Quilt - Top is pieced.  Trying to decide if I want to add borders to make it larger.

 

4.  Quilt of Valor -- I made this one on a whim a few months ago when I bought some patriotic prints on a good sale.  Not sure I love it.  But, it is pretty simple and I think will be liked by some manly, man out there.  :)

5.  Christmas 16 Patch - Need to piece together with sashing (or no sashing?)

6.  Ombre Quilt- I started this one a few years ago and didn't like it.  So, I have several blocks that I want to try and figure out how to change it.  Sorry, no picture!

7. Raindrops Quilt - I have several different sized blocks -- need to figure out how to put it all together.
