I don't usually set quilting goals, but I thought I would this year since I'm still working on the
scrappy goals I set in June. In 2013 my unofficial goal became to make quilts from my stash as much as possible, but I didn't have specific projects in mind to complete.

Unrelated to goals - I just love this fabric! |
Goal 1: Another
scrap quilt. It's already in progress so I am fairly confident I will complete it.
(Update: In April we moved to a new state 1400 miles away, so the June baby quilt will take priority!) Finally finished! May 2017.
Goal 2: Baby quilt for my friend who's due in June. Sibling to the
Shark and
Elephant quilt recipients. We'll see if it's another boy. Can't leave the third kid without a quilt, so this will definitely be completed
(though if it's a girl, I do already have a quilt that still needs a home).
Update: It's a boy! (Found a home for the rainbow quilt before we moved!) Done! June 2016.
- Goal 2a (June update): Another baby boy quilt! Just found out another friend is expecting a baby boy in September! (Too bad I don't have more alligator fabric!) Update: Done! August 2016.
Goal 3: Finally make a quilt with the remaining blocks from the
Quilt Block Project. I made 51 blocks, and I now have 14 left. I took most of them apart, though a
couple made it into
quilts. I actually have a plan to incorporate many of the 2.5"
squares I'll still have even after completing the second scrap quilt, and I think having a plan will go a long way toward actually making progress on this quilt.
Update: Done! February 2016.
Goal 4: Brainstorm and research what to do with the
hexagon blocks. I may not actually start any sewing on this quilt, but I do plan to at least do some planning.
Update: Returned to Amanda.
April 2018.
