Since I'm also committed to the APQ UFO Challenge, I've already drafted a prioritized list of the UFOs to focus on this year. But rather than following along with the number of the month, I'm going to work through my list in numerical order and work on each project till it's done rather than switching each month. Fingers crossed that will mean more finishes this year. So from that list what's likely to get done in the first quarter of the Finish Along?
1. Inverted Star

It's a finished flimsy, the back is pieced, both need to be pressed and prepped for quilting, then packaged to go out for quilting. That should happen this weekend. So Inverted Star is a good candidate for a first quarter finish.
2. The Christmas Mystery Quilt

Also a finished flimsy, though I do need to embroider some eyes, nose and mustache onto the nut cracker. It needs a backing pieced and then it can go out for quilting. I'll start on it as soon as Inverted Star is ready to go. So this is another likely first quarter finish.
3. Christmas Angels

The center of the quilt is pieced, but it needs borders and backing. I think this one is also likely to get finished this quarter if I don't dilly dally over the first two.
4. Vintage Dresses

Another quilt that needs the borders added and the backing pieced. I'm not sure this one will make it to finished by the end of the quarter. It needs to go out for quilting early in March to make that deadline.
5. Red, White and Blue Stars

The blocks need to be sashed and sewn together. This one isn't likely to get done in first quarter, but I'll add it to the list as my stretch goal for the quarter. It would be really nice to get four quilts finished in the first quarter That's all I finished in all of 2018.

I think these are great goals for the quarter! I can't wait to see some of these finished flimsies quilted. :D
Oh my! Those vintage dresses! Wow! Good Luck you your finishes
Good idea to start with some close to finished items. That way you are heading in a positive direction and will build confidence! Good luck with your goals.
Three quilts would be impressive and four would be amazing. Good luck with your goals.
Kate, I love love love every one of your projects! I have admired the dress quilt in your banner forever. It is wonderful that you plan to finish it this quarter.
Your Christmas quilt top is very inspiring to me because I am making my own Christmas quilt this year.
Good luck with your quarter finishes.
Beautiful quilts to work on! I don't know if I've seen the red,white, and blue stars before--it's gorgeous! Love that star pattern. You always find amazing star patterns!
Beautiful quilts...actually stunning, will be great to see them finished
Personally, I want you to complete the vintage dresses quilt. The anticipation is killing me. Seriously, Kate, it has been forever!!! But I love all your projects.
I have faith in you Kate! These quilts will be even more lovely when they are finished!
I really like how you include the likelyhood of finishing your projects. You're extra organized! And those dresses are really sweet.
Thank you for participating in the FAL, on behalf of the 2019 global FAL hosts.
Good luck getting these done.
