At the start of a new year many people like to make resolutions, things they want to accomplish or change or improve upon. The only real resolution I am making for 2011 is to be the best person I can be!
That doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about what I'd like to accomplish this year quiltwise. I've been giving lots of thought to actually applying the "F" word (finish) to my bazillion projects which languish in varying degrees of completedness. Is that a word???
Now, don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that I won't start a new project whenever the mood strikes, just that I will spend A LOT of time working on some of my older much loved projects.
Temptation and inspiration out in blogland too often has me mesmerized and I am suddenly out of control with wanting to make all the loveliness that I see others creating.
Upon further reflection, I've come to realize that I don't really care how many quilts I have in production stage when I get excited about one more new project - I suppose that makes me more of a process person - I'm not as interested in the completion of a project as I am in the journey I'm on in order to get there.
I also gravitate towards intricate time consuming projects with tiny fussy pieces.
Oh how I love this quilt creating life - it's so freeing - I can create whatever I want, whenever I want - it's my time to play and revel in the yummyness of the scrumptious fabric to my hearts desire.
With all that being said I've spent some time inventorying what I want to delve into first.
Since I've got all of the blocks and border completely appliqued
except for a small amount of embroidery here and there on
The Great Pumpkin Quilt, I've been spending
most of my time working on this one. It will be exciting to finally
see it put together. I don't remember where I took this picture, but this is what it should look like when done.
Next time you see a picture of this quilt it will be a picture of mine!

Again, I don't remember where I took this picture.

And then there's Autumn Joy - I have 4 of these applique blocks completed.
It is my hope to have all three of these quilts completed this year.

Wow! A second post in the same month, let alone the same year! LOL! Love your post. It sounds so like you - except for the one sentence that sounds like Moira. I'll love seeing you finish each of these.
I put this post on Gail's linky list for organization party this week.
Fran, these quilts are beautiful. I love the process also, but tend to be a finisher. I did not have any UFO's a few UFO days ago. LOL. I am starting a BOM from TQS, so we shall she how that goes. Now I do have a rather long list of things I need to make. I have the fabric for DD's quilt (well most of it), so that will be one for this year...
Thanks for hooking up to the Creative Organization Party. I hope you will share tips with everyone. Hugs Gail
Hmmmmm, one of these days I gotta dig out my pumpkin block kits and work on it again....lol. I'm sure yours is looking good.
