I saw another quilter with this type of blog post a while back and it inspired me to take some pictures of my current WIPs (Works in Progress) and post about each of them. This is to say nothing for the hundreds (I'm not exaggerating) projects I have fabric for yet haven't started and the hundreds of patterns I have which I really want to make. I'd better get to work! I also finished 5 UFO projects in March, so I'm making progress. Here goes:
Bits n' Pieces 2013 6" Strip BOM:
This BOM makes two blocks from a light, medium & dark 6" strip. I'm a little more than half finished with the blocks. I've had some problems with the patterns and it is frustrating at times because I've lost points and had to remake sections of the blocks and guess what size due to the sometimes poor dimensions given. Probability of finishing in 2014: 75%
Craftsy 2012 BOM (Black AND White Versions):
These quilt tops are complete...I just can't find a picture. I've been waiting for my quilting skills to improve before tackling a custom quilt job on these. The time is drawing near! These quilts use the "Good Fortune" fabric collection from Moda. I wasn't sure whether to use a black or white background, so I decided to make one of each! I like how both of them turned out. This was my first time making a quilt with a black background. Probability of finishing in 2014: 70%
Pile O'Fabric 2013 BOM:
I really enjoyed this BOM until I got totally stuck on the EPP blocks. I haven't been able to recover. This is my first ever quilt-as-you-go project. I also went outside the box and chose this very modern/manly blue/green color palette. This is my first quilt using solids. Probability of finishing in 2014: 15%
Buggy Barn Quilt:
I LOVE Buggy Barn and their "crazy" patterns. I had bought the Lilac Parade fabric collection and the book and when I saw that one of my local quilt shops was offering a class I signed up even though I was super busy and overloaded w/ projects at the time. I cut everything and finished one whole block in the class and that's as far as I've gotten. Probability of finishing in 2014: Virtually Zero %
Patriotic Quilt:
I started this on or maybe even just after the 4th of July in 2013. I was feeling very patriotic at the time. This is my first patriotic quilt. The quilt is a sampler and is supposed to finish at a double size. I decided to make the quilt half-size so that I could use it as a wall hanging. I was feeling patriotic, but not patriotic enough to have a large red, white & blue quilt. The blocks have been fun to make so far, but man, they are small.
Inner City EPP Wall Hanging:
This is my first full EPP project. I wanted something small as this is quite tedious. I'm realizing EPP is not my favorite technique...b/c I procrastinate on it terribly. I don't even know when I started this, but it seems that it is going to take me many more years to finish. Probability of finishing in 2014: Virtually Zero %
Cat Embroidery:
I've said many times that embroider/red work is just something I'm not interested in taking on. I bought this pattern for my friend to make for me. Then I kept watching everyone at the local quilt shop work on their own embroidery projects and decided I should try it. It is pretty fun and relaxing. I definitely like it more than EPP. I like to work on this from time to time though, not plug away at it for days and days, so this project will likely take me a while to finish. I plan to make all three of these into a small wall hanging. Probability of finishing in 2014: 100%
Snowman Table Runner: No photo..no rush to finish b/c Christmas season is far away! Probability of finishing in 2014: 100%
Modern Traditional Web Quilt Challenge Contest Mini Quilt:
I started this project this month when I saw the contest online. Great, just what I need, another rush project to stick in with all these other UFOs. The quilt is 20" square and I need to finish it and submit pictures by 4/30. I'm doing micro quilting on it and will probably have about 15 hours invested just into the quilting on this baby. Probability of finishing in 2014: 100%
