A project just jumped to the top of the list. I have a friend whose son was in Afghanistan. He just came home injured (a double amputee above the knee) and I am going to make him a quilt. He has a long road ahead. I'll be working on the quilt as soon as I get information about what colors or theme he would like.
I've decided to give it a try. I don't know if I'll finish them all, but it will be fun to see how many I do finish.
Here they are: (they are also linked on the right side of the blog with the amount finished so far).
I've also added a page with ALL the UFO's I've found at the moment. You can see it at the top of the blog.
1- Disappearing 9-patch swap--DONE
2- One Block Wonder
3-Solar Flare (don't like this one, we'll see if I just happen to "skip" it by mistake).
Since what this needs is basically quilting, and I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it, I'm adding a Professional Bag to this month. I've got all the supplies I need, I just have to get motivated.
4- North Winds group quilt--DONE
5-Jewel Box--started this probably in about 2000--I really like it so want to finish it BAD!
6- Round Robin-brights
7- Feathered Tiles
8- Checkerboard Convergence
9- Rainbow Spiral (replacing Butterfly Blooms--it should be done before Christmas)--DONE
10-Totally Tubular-still in pieces. This one needs a lot of work.--DONE
11- Underwater - needs borders to finish the top, and then quilting like everything else.
12- Zippy Strippy
Sad to say I have more than this, but there is no way I am going to finish more than one a month unless something drastic happens. If I finish all of these, it will be very good!
Other folks are working on UFOs in 2011, too. If you want to see what they are working on, check

Dang - that's a lot of UFO's! I have every confidence in you though Mary, you'll get 'em done!
Isn't this going to be a fun challenge??? I think it's great that so many of us will be accountable for each other. I work well that way. I think with your #3 that you dislike so much, add a happy border or 2, quilt it with a super fun, funky backing and give it away with a smile on your face. Some one will love it to pieces!!
This is going to be fun. I love your list! I just joined the challenge and I'm looking forward to watching everyone's progress this year!
Cheers,
Dionne
I think number 2, the One-Block Wonder is o1ne of my favourite quilts ever
This is a great quilt show...so many wonderful projects! Hope you have 12 finished quilts by the end of the year!
Could you tell me what fabric is in # 5-Jewel Box? I know it's an older set but maybe I will get lucky. I have been looking for a purple/green batik set for awhile and this is perfect? Thank you so much.
