I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly thinking of things I want to make. And I love starting new projects. But finishing them? That’s a different story… My little pile of WIPs and UFOs has gone from manageable to almost comical. (They sure are pretty though, aren’t they?)
So… I’m adding a new rule to my list– No starting a new project until I finish an old one. Should be easy enough, right? Right???
That’s why I’m excited to be joining in on the 2015 Finish-Along, hosted by the fabulous Adrianne of On the Windy Side. I could definitely use a little push to get my WIPs done and clear my mind (and sewing table) for new projects!
OK, deep breath… Here’s my list of proposed Q1 finishes:
- high tea quilt – top is finished, need to make backing, quilt & bind.
- orange peel quilt – peels done, need to finalize layout, quilt, etc.
- washi bag – pattern cut, fabric picked, just need hardware.
- secret quit #1 – top is finished, need to make backing, quilt & bind.
- secret quilt #2 – need to finish top, make backing, quilt & bind.
- secret quilt #3 – pieces cut, have a vision, now just to make it.
- secret quilt #4 – have fabric and pattern, just need to cut and go!
- charity quilt – top is finished, need to make backing, quit & bind.
- secret baby gift #1– fabric cut, need to assemble.
- secret baby gift #2 – pieces mostly cut, need to assemble.
- cotton + steel quilt for me! – have fabric & pattern, time to sew :)
- improv quilt– top almost done(?), need to make backing, quilt & bind.
- super tote – pattern cut, fabric picked & prepped, time to make it!
- zippy top for me! – have pattern and fabric, just need a zipper.
As you can see, there’s a lot of top secret sewing happening these days, hence the lack of specifics. Although I did leave a few clues in the picture… So many gifts, so little time! I also made sure to include some personal projects, and I’m going to do my best not to demote them to last priority.
Do you have a pile of half-finished projects that are just begging to be completed? Why not join in! More info on the finish-along and how to get involved can be found here.
I’ll be sharing my projects as I finish them. And in the meantime, hop on over to On the Windy Side to check out everyone’s proposed finishes. You can also follow along on Instagram by searching #fal2015.
have a great week!

Amanda, wholly cow that is a full on list for Q1. I love the Finish Along I participated last year and was such a great way to stay on track. Can’t wait to see all your projects. Happy quilting.
Thanks Abby! It would be amazing to finish the whole list, but really I’d be happy to just make a dent! ;)
