I am in serious need of completing some old projects and have decided to join Judy's UFO challenge for 2011. She has you list 12 projects that need completion (by your own definition of complete) and number them 1-12. Each month she will tell us which project to complete by #.
Because my main goal this year is to finish projects rather than start them, I'm joining. Wish me luck!
This quilt was designed by Kaye Evans. I took the class once at Ruby's Inn Retreat and again at Annual Meeting because it was so fun. One of them did get finished.

#1A Husband's Levi Quilt - goal is to tie and bind
My husband made this quilt many years ago because he was home tending the kids while I was off to a quilt retreat. I need to finish it up for him.
#2 My first original Hexagons in Rotation - goal is to quilt and bind
I designed this quilt many years ago and have since made several and quilted several for others like it. This poor quilt has been basted and partially quilted for years. I quilted it so tight that it will take me quite some time to complete.
#3 Mystery Quilt - goal is to finish the top
I took this mystery class many years ago. I still don't even know what I'm making, but I still have the clues.

#4 Spring Picket Fence Wallhanging - goal is to quilt & bind AND Tammy's barn fix
I designed this wallhanging from the patterns in my Spring Row by Row quilt.
I added Tammy's barn fix to this project because it will literally only take me a few minutes to fix. I gave her the barn quilt for her first marriage's wedding quilt. I put the couple's name over the door of the center barn. She has since remarried and wants me to "remove" the first husband's name. Sadly, I've had her quilt for a couple of years (she has 2 kids now).
#5 Grandma's Overgrown Flower Garden - goal is to fix the problems to complete the top
I designed and taught this quilt at Annual Meeting many years ago. I love the design but had serious problems with the border applique because I tried to hurry it on the machine rather than carefully taking my time to hand applique it. Now it is time to make it right.
I participated in a state-wide round robin years ago and LOVED the results of this project. I repeated it a second year to get more blocks.

#7 Frogs Round Robin - goal is to complete a top
This was another state round robin that simply needs assembly.

#8 Sliced Quilt Challenge - goal is to complete my slice and assemble the slices together.
This was a prize design project, tons of fun, and one I'm very excited about and proud of. I so want it done!!
This link explains the project.
This is another one of my designs. The pieced border is ridiculously slow. If I can just get it done the rest will come fast.
The above photo shows the finished product. I am SO HAPPY with it! I THINK the border was worth it, but it was still a ridiculous amount of work.
Completed June 1, 2011
This project is less than 6 months old where the others are years old. I plan to put it away for when my daughters get married.
I finished the top February 26, 2011.
#11 Friends and Flowers Round Robin - goal is to quilt and bind
This is another round robin only it was done with friends and family. I LOVE this quilt!
#12 Buggy Barn Stars - goal is to complete a top
My daughter started this quilt at one of our family retreats. She doesn't really like to sew and is very busy, so I hope to get the top done so she can put it away for her future wedding.
