Whew and Whoop Whoop!

Last year, Judy at www.PatchworkTimes.com offered up a UFO Challenge.  Although I didn't get everything done, I managed to focus on a few UFOs this year and got quite a few done.  (I didn't keep track, wish I had!)  And here's one I started several years ago when a quilt shop in town had classes to work on Eleanor Burns' Egg Money Quilt blocks.  I'm down to quilting the last border and I'm really excited to have it so nearly done.  I should have it finished by next week's Whoop Whoop!


But the biggest accomplishment this week was signing up for Judy's 2012 UFO Challenge.  I dragged stuff out of the closet and off the shelves, made a list, checked it twice, and came up with a dozen UFOs to work on this year.  And I tossed, re-stashed, fondled and became reacquainted with many projects.  Boy, did that feel good! But also a little overwhelming.  So by culling the kits and UFOs, I was able to get the piles into -- hopefully -- manageable projects.  See the lists on the tab above.  Feeling good -- oh, yeah!!  Whoop Whoop!!


Now, go over to Sarah's blog: confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com where you can show off your accomplishments this week!

    Good for you!! Yes, Judy's challenge was a good thing for many - even me - and it sounds like you really took stock in organizing for 2012.

    Brita, you've set quite a goal for yourself next year! It will be interesting to follow your progress.... I tried to do that last year, but the quilt ministry got so busy that I couldn't keep up with my UFOs. But I'm hoping to knock out a couple of them this year in between the ministry quilts! Whoop Whoop!!

    Looks great! Good luck with the 2012 Challenge. I don't know if I am brave enough to take that on! Doesn't it feel good to sort through and organize all those UFOs though?

    I did 11 of the 12 blocks of the Egg Money quilt. Mine is in Civil War reproduction fabric. I never finished the last block and put it together. One of these days.....
