I've done much better this year in starting projects than I have been at finishing them. My last finish was back at the end of June. Still I've been making steady progress on a number of different projects. Here's how things looked at the end of October.

October was a good month, progress was made on 6 of 7 projects. Mon Ami is on it's way back from being quilted, so I may have a finish for this month. That will probably be the last one for 2013. The next likely finish will be Back to Square One. I'm really hoping to get caught up on that one this month, just in time for the last clue. The other goals for November include:
1. Mon Ami
Bind and label
2. Back to Square One
Clue 9
Clue 10
Clue 11
3. Jigsaw
Make 24 blocks
4. Neutral Gems
Make 4 blocks
5. Road to Brenham
Make 22 quarter square triangles
6. Scrappy Stars
Make 5 blocks
7. Scrappy Trip Around the World
Make 2 blocks.
That's still a pretty ambitious list. I'd like to finish Jigsaw before Drama Teen's birthday. Not sure that's going to happen, but I've moved it into second on my list. The blocks go fast once you have them cut out. Scrappy Stars only needs 9 more star blocks and it will be ready to set together. It will be nice to get the one off my to do list as it's my oldest UFO. Hopefully, this plan will set me up for some early finishes in 2014.

One of my favorite things about blogging during the last year is being able to go back and follow the trail of a project. I'm terrible at taking pictures otherwise!
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that you've made steady progress on a number of pretty major projects this year. I have to keep reminding myself it isnt a race but honestly I dont feel like I've finished much at all this year!
ReplyDeleteYou really stick to your guns with your goals! I don't think I could do that? LOL
ReplyDeletelove seeing the progress and not just hearing about it. everything is looking so good!
ReplyDeleteYou made some great progress on your goals. I like how you show the before and after progress shots. I'd say you did very well for Oct.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the idea of the "before and after" photos! Well done you!
