FAL - Second Quarter Goals

I posted about my yearly goals here, but blah blah blah, plans change. So, new goals! And I have a lot of them. I think they're all fairly attainable.

1. Bind Big Blue. If I'm smart, I'll get it done before a wedding in May and send it home with my sister so it doesn't take any of my precious car space. I'm not sure I have a suitcase big enough for it, though. I also need to make pillow shams to match.

2. LQS Saturday Sampler - all the blocks are done, and the medallion is well on its way. Still hoping to get it done and to/from the quilter before we leave for the summer. Otherwise it'll be a Christmas present instead!

3. Swoon A Little, Swoon A Lot - I have about 2-3 blocks left. Really need to finish them up and assemble the top.

4. Chunky Log Cabin - I have 13 blocks, and I think I only need 20. Ugh, why do I abandon projects so close to completion?

5. Airplane Dreams, Baby Girl, and Granny Squares - all easy baby quilts that need to be finished up before the babies are born.

6. My Precious Quilt Along - hey, shocker! Another QA! In this one, you use your most precious fabric in any way you want. I've got two most precious stacks. They share the place of honor top shelf with Dorothy Kathryn.

There's my Objects of Desire precuts, and my very first fabric cuts ever. It's a line based on Renoir and Monet paintings, and I have everything from fat quarters to yardage. And not a single clue how to use them.

Goals for 2012

Looking at my WiP list, I think my word of the year will be focus. I need to focus on a few quilts at a time until they're done, and not start TOO many new projects until I've whittled down the WiP list.

And I say that knowing I'm going to do Pins and Bobbins' Made in Cherry Quilt Along.

I separated quilts by quarters, for Quilter in the Gap's Finish-A-Long. I'm not saying I won't work on any out of its quarter (or start any extras), but I'd like to finish the ones listed by the end of each quarter.

Quarter One

Hunter's Star, round two - I have more than half of the dark blue half-blocks finished, so I'll be to the assembly stage soon 
 
Frolicking Pinwheels - 7/9 pinwheels done

 
Skorca! - not quite as far along on this one. I'm doing a 6x6 layout, so I have a ways to go still.

Quarter Two
 

LQS Saturday Sampler - 10/12 blocks finished. I'd like to finish this for my MIL's birthday in May.

 
Swoon A Little, Swoon A Lot - probably need to make about five more 8" blocks before assembly - which I might just make as part of I'm A Ginger Monkey's Quilt-Along. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a QA.

Chunky Log Cabin - 13 blocks finished. I forget how many I need.

Quarter Three

St. Paul's Cross - 2/?? finished. This is for my best friend's birthday in September. 

Jarred Picnic Quilt - I've had the fat quarters for this for 2+ years. I'm going to make mason jars full of food (and candy) for a picnic blanket.

Fat Quarter Stars Quilt Along - if I keep up with the blocks (haha) this should be easy to assemble over the summer


Quarter Four

Dutch Pinwheels - I'm probably about halfway through the flying geese I cut for this one. No idea what the full layout will look like.

Star Wars Iotacons - mentioned this before. I'm planning on using scraps from this year's Saturday Sampler (plus other solids I've collected in the last few years) to make Iotacon versions of Star Wars characters.
Drunkard's Path - I'm taking a class in April on curve sewing, and giving myself a generous amount of time to finish it.

Oh, and then there's the unquilted list...

Sunkissed Jewel Box

Bad Romance

Layer Cake Quilt Along

Hunter's Star

Fall-gyle

Star Wall Hanging

One every other month, plus keeping up with the finished quilt tops this year...doable? Maybe?
