17 ufos for 2017 Year End Achievements

I was delighted to take part in Meredithe's 17ufosin2017 challenge and did complete some quilts.
I wrote about 17 different quilts I was working on. You can see the original list here. 
Some I hadn't touched in years. I had a lot of fun pulling them out, putting them up on the design wall, photographing them and writing about them. I really enjoyed that. 
But this past year was a busy one with travel and mission trips
 then babysitting grandchildren so I did not work on all of them. 

I completed and quilted 4. 
I did nothing on 6.
That means I progressed on 7. 
That adds up. 
I sort of started only 3 by making a few blocks.
I have made my lists for 2018 by moving a few over from last year 
and finding a few others to work on for

This is what I am working on this week. 


I could have a flimsy before the end of the year. 
I so appreciate the space I have and the 8 foot tables that are easily moved around. 
Blessings, 
Chris

    The year has been fun, and it has been good to see long neglected projects worked on. Meredithe and I were delighted that so many people joined in, and we are looking forward to next year's challenge!

    I have been relieved to see that many are like me....made some progress, had a few finishes but couldn't tackle the entire list. Your BB blocks are beautiful :)

    What a wonderful quilt you will have from that flimsy. My year was very much like yours, but you had more finishes - congrats.

    I think you've made a lot of progress this year! I love your 1857 Album Quilt, all the pink leaves in the corners are such a beautiful design element. Looking forward to joining you on Meredithe's challenge for 2018.

    Progress is progress! It really is good to revisit some of the older projects and refresh their importance {or non-importance} in our minds.:) Love the applique work you have going on!
