Get it Done–May 2013

I skipped April altogether but am trying to get back on track so I will list my four items for May.

1.  Finish the Swoon Quilt – at least get it pieced and ready to quilt.  I still have 7 blocks competed and one almost finished.  The last block has all the components made and is ready to be put together.  I have the scrappy border made and ready for the blocks to be finished.

2.  Complete first house quilt – the one with Kaffe fabrics and 2 1/2 inch strips.  Probably won’t quilt this one until after Las Vegas since it will fit in my suitcase better as a flimsy.

3.  Start the 2 inch strip house quilt.  Still need to decide on the theme for it.

4.  Finish the Saturday Sampler quilt – could be done today if I get to it.  It just needs the border, quilting and binding.  It is the bright blocks on the right side of the design wall.

All these are realistic goals but will require some focus.  I think I can do it!

For other lists, go to Patchwork Times.

February/March Getting It Done

Getting it done progress.

1.  Quilt and bind Easy Street.

Done and loving it on my bed.  I even took it to see Bonnie and she signed the back.

2.  Quilt one quilt for donation.

Identified but not done.

3.  Put borders on mystery quilt and finish it by quilting and binding.

Borders on but not quilted.

4.  Work on scrappy trips to the point of getting at least 36 blocks done.

I have 31 blocks done but after looking at it, I need to make more blocks – at least 42 but probably 48.

Some progress but not as much as I had hoped.  I did get several other things done though.

March Getting It Done List

1.  Finish the shop hop strip quilt.  It needs to be quilted and the binding finished.  Pattern needs to be written.

2.  Finish the tumbler quilt in time for shop hop.  Also needs the quilting and binding done.  Pattern needs to be written.

3.  Finish the Nancy Drew blog hop quilt in time for blog hop.

4.  Keep working on scrappy trips – try to get 42 blocks done.

I should be able to do this.  Some of them have firm deadlines so they will be done!!!!

Getting it Done for February

I thought it was time to check in on my goals for February.  I have made some progress but not enough.  Still have lots to do.

1.  Quilt and bind Easy Street. Done and it is on my bed!

2.  Quilt one quilt for donation. I have identified the quilt I want to do but it isn’t done yet.

3.  Put borders on mystery quilt and finish it by quilting and binding.  Borders on, back made – still needs to be quilted.

4.  Work on scrappy trips to the point of getting at least 36 blocks done. I have been working on these but they got put aside for the shop hop quilts.  Still hope to get this done.

Not too bad.  I think I might be able to finish my list this month.

Getting in Done–Progress or Lack of Progress for January and February List

I had high hopes of getting a lot done during January, I made some progress but not enough. Here is the list I made on Dec. 31.

1.  Complete Easy Street, including quilting and binding. Easy Street is pieced and ready to go to on the longarm.  I should get it done early this month

2.  Quilt Winter Wonderland. Not even started

3.  Finish one quilt for donation. Identified the quilt I want to finish.  Just needs to be quilted and bound.

4.  Get out my scrappy trips and complete the blocks necessary to make a quilt for my bed – not sure how much work that will be. Made several more blocks.  Still can’t decide how many blocks I want to have to complete the quilt.  Once I get 36 blocks done, I can more easily decide what to do next.

It was a good idea to make the list but I am somewhat disappointed in my progress.  My new list won’t be a lot different but I hope the report at the end of the month will be more positive.  Here is February’s list.

1.  Quilt and bind Easy Street.

2.  Quilt one quilt for donation.

3.  Put borders on mystery quilt and finish it by quilting and binding.

4.  Work on scrappy trips to the point of getting at least 36 blocks done.

I think it will be a reasonable amount to get done this month – at least I hope so.

Progress on Getting It Done List

Here is my list for getting it done in January.

1.  Complete Easy Street, including quilting and binding. Quilt top is complete – waiting for quilting.

2.  Quilt Winter Wonderland. Still untouched

3.  Finish one quilt for donation.  Located a quilt top and it needs to be quilted.

4.  Get out my scrappy bargello and complete the blocks necessary to make a quilt for my bed – not sure how much work that will be. I got this out and made one block.  Also counted the blocks and strips I have already cut and decided to use a Bali Pop for more strips.

Of course, I have done a lot of other things that are not on the list – isn’t that always the case.  Glad Judy decided to do a mid-month evaluation.  Perhaps this will keep me on track.

Getting It Done–January 2013

Judy of Patchwork Times is hosting a new linky party for 2013.  She is asking us to list four things we want to get done for the next month on the last day of the month and then report on progress the last day of that month.  Not sure if that makes sense but you can go to her blog and read about it.  I have decided to participate.  For January I want to accomplish the following.

1.  Complete Easy Street, including quilting and binding.

2.  Quilt Winter Wonderland.

3.  Finish one quilt for donation.

4.  Get out my scrappy bargello and complete the blocks necessary to make a quilt for my bed – not sure how much work that will be.

I have a lot of other things I would like to get done but if I can complete this list it will be a good month.

Check out the other hopes and dreams on Patchwork Times.
