To Do List for the Week of 12/31/2024

It's the last day of 2024, so this list is really the first to do list for 2025. I had to decide to add this week's list to the 2024 tracking tab in Notes or make a new tab. Since most of the next week is in 2025, I decided it needed to go on a new tab.  Before I get to this week's to do list, how did it go with last week's list?  

To Do List for 12/24/2024

1.  Old Town: Work on clues 1, 2, 3, 4, start 5, 6, & 7 ✔

2.  Butterfly Medallion: Finish the orange butterfly ✔

3.  2025 Guild BOM: Finish writing documentation for January ✔

4.  2024 Guild BOM: Finish sashing and start assembly - progress

5.  Marble Mystery: Finish the December clue - progress

6.  Wild and Goose: Make red blocks ✔

7.  Summer Scrap Quilt: Continue as leaders and enders ✔

It was a long list for a holiday week, much of which I wasn't home for.  So I'm not complaining about 5 check marks and two progress made.  I'm sticking with the long list. I'm just hoping for progress across the board, I doubt I check off everything this week.  

To Do List for 12/31/2025

1.  2025 Guild BOM: Start on February blocks

Those have to be ready for the next guild meeting in January.  I can already tell this BOM is going to keep me on my toes.  

2.  Old Town (Bonnie Hunter):  Continue to work on clues 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6 and 7: start clue 8.   

I've finished clue 1 finally, but I'm still working on all the rest. I've not gotten to the assembly part of clue 7 yet.  It's not uncommon for Bonnie to release a clue on New Year's day, sometimes it's even the final clue.  So I may well be adding in clues 8 and 9 this week. 

3. 2025 SAHRR (Quilting Gail): Decide on and start the center block

This year's quilt is going to Grad Girl's roommate.  I know the colors I'm using: green, teal, blue and maybe purple. But I don't have a theme yet.  Thankfully Grad Girl is home for a bit longer so I'll have her help on picking what to use for the center block.  I've not decided if I'm going with yardage, scrappy or a combo of the two.  I need to spend some time in the fabric closet.  

4. 2024 Guild BOM: Finish sashing and start quilt assembly

I'm still working on the pieced sashing, but getting close to having that assembled.  I may need to take a break from Old Town and focus on this project for a day. I'd like to get it off the active list and onto the to be quilted list. 

5.  Marble Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs): Finish December and start January Clue.

I'm still working on the assembly part of the December clue, but am more than half done with that.  I haven't even starting on the cutting apart section yet.  This is another one I should just spend a day on to get caught up so I'm ready for the January clue when it comes out on Thursday. 

6. Wild and Goosey (Bonnie Hunter): Continue making red blocks

Angela (So Scrappy) has announced pink as the color for January. Since I'm not using pink in this project, I'll stick with it's darker shade for the month.  All the yellow and orange blocks are finished and I'm close to finishing off all the red blocks.  I'd really like to be in a position to start assembly by the end of the year.  We'll see how that goes.  

7.  Simply Sensational Summer Scrap Quilt (Kevin the Quilter): Continue as leaders and enders. 

This has been such an easy leaders and enders.  It's been great to see the 4 patches start to pile up. I'm probably a little over half way on having all the blocks I need for assembly.  As this year's SAHRR starts to heat up, this project may get put back in the project box and I'll move Old Town to be my leaders and enders project.  That's usually the only way I ever finish a BH mystery.  

It's a long list.  So if I can make progress on each I'll be happy.  I probably need to spend some dedicated time on a couple of projects to get them off the list for a bit.  We'll see how this week goes and what gets to stay on the list next week.
