2018 is the year of the UFO (or as some call "Unfinished Objects", PhD, "Projects Half Done.") I joined up with American Patchwork & Quilting UFO Challenge.
The first thing was to complete our list of 12 items that we want to complete this year. I went a bit crazy and filled out three sheets, some of them not true UFOs as they had not even been started. But, I wanted to see on paper all the UFOs or projects I had swimming around in my head. It ended up way more then I imagined.
Then each month AP&Q will post a number, that is the number you are supposed to work on that month.
January was #12. Well my #12 was to alter some work pants and shirts....boring... not done. Instead I finished the binding on my grandson's quilt. And, even though I did the binding by machine, the quilt is so big, it took me 4 hours to get that binding on!!

| Yards and yards of binding |
The number for February is #9. My #9 is to work on The Gypsy Wife....
ahhhh, The Gypsy Wife is a really complicated pattern. I did complete the first block, but it seems like too big a project to complete in one month.

| The Gypsy Wife and Block #1 |
Instead, I finished my niece's two baby quilts, which is project #2 on my list. (I will work on The Gypsy Wife this month, but it won't get finished this month, of that I am sure.)

| Disappearing four patch for grand niece #1 |

| Snowball for grand niece #2 |
Both of these tops were pieced from scraps....isn't it interesting that while creating from the scrap pile, you create more scraps??!!
While I'm not following the "rules," I am moving forward with completing UFOs. That counts, right?
