2012 Goals

For several weeks I've been thinking about what I want to accomplish in 2012. I really want to get the quilt tops in my closet quilted and I want to finish the projects that are just laying around. I'm not saying I won't start any new projects because I know I will. In no particular order:

I want to add a red border to this panel and scallop the edges. I have never did scalloped edges but I think it will be slow sewing.

I also want to do something with this panel.

I want to finish my hexagon quilt but first I have to take it apart.

Be Attitudes - finish Oct, Nov and Dec blocks.

Boot Bash - finish Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec blocks on mine and Lacy's quilts.

Quilt the following quilts

• Aqua 10 Minute block quilt
• Kites
• Pretty 'n Pink
• Sunbonnet Sue
• Lazy Hearts 
• Ribbit

Things That I Love - need about 100 more blocks
Trains - I have no idea how many more blocks I need but I think about 30

As slow as I am that should keep me busy next year.

Happy New Year!

Train #3

I have enough blocks for a row. I hope this afternoon to get the blocks sewn together and get the train track sewn on. It will take all 8 blocks for one row. I thought the halloween blocks would be fun. I will also make other holiday blocks.

This is the background for the next row.

Happy quilting!

Trains #2

I couldn't decide on a background for the train blocks. As I was digging thru auditioning fabrics I came across the bag of flannel squares that Betsy had gave me. I love working with flannel.

Here are the 1st two train engines. Jon thought Nikolas would like having engines on his quilt more than the cars.

The design came with the train done in a zigzag or satin stitch. I like the satin stitch better. I also like that I let the background fabric show through the window.

Then I was playing around with the two blocks and the train fabric.

I need 81 5 1/2" blocks, half of which will be Thomas the Train fabric.

Happy quilting!
