I have re-opened it today to do my list of 'wishing quilts' for 2013. I just wanted to take some time to share my past projects - a few completed (!) and many more which seem to progress from one year's list to the next!!!!
I started quilting in 2004, my 'to do' list, of course, started not long after - although I still have many UFO from that period...my list starts, as it did in the book. Do I need to mention the drawer of UFO that have never made it into the 'to do' book ........ no thought not!
2009:
Judy's Star - Made for my friends 65th birthday. Started 2008 - Finished Jan 2009.
Quilt for L - requested with a fleece backing: Started end of 2009 - Finished Jan 2010.
Purple Throw Quilt for BH - when we purchased the BH we got most of the furniture with it. The settee was badly stained and I purchased dome cheap furniture fabric to make a heavy duty throw. Never actually got round to making it... and now the flood has happened - we have an actual purple sofa. So this one I can mark as finished by default.
Fan-tastic - started 2006/7 (I think) in class, a pattern designed by Junita Dobb my quilting teacher. Just a boarder to finished and then to quilt.
Quilt as you go - blood, sweat and many tears were shed completing this quilt: Started 2005 - Finished 2010
Coloured 3D hexagons - Loved this - many happy hours - no tears, many smiles!!! Started as one coloured section, for paper piecing technique in class - and developed into single quilt. Started 2007 - finished April 2011.
Chenille Bag - started, mmmm not sure...2008 - Finished 2009
Uni Quilt - this was my very first quilt made back in 1993 - made while at university - mainly when I could not afford to go out. This was back in the days before I knew about strip piecing and rotary cutting. The quilt was damaged by damp in the flat D and I lived in when we first met - the boarders were removed and the quilt left to one side until I could replace - made the list in 2009 - finished 2011.
Pinwheel - this was an attempt at a quilting pattern - free from the Internet - outside of my evening class. Not sure to this day if the pattern was incorrect or if I just cut completely wrong but it worked out ok in the end, but definitely not a Pinwheel pattern!!! Started 2005- Finished 2009.
Wholecloth Quilt - made the wish list in 2009 for the future. Started 2009 - Finished 2012
Quilts made during the year - that didn't even appear on my 'to do' list - they just somehow got done!
Three baby quilts, all arriving in April! - Feb 2009 - April 2009.
Small Projects for Christmas gifts. Started November 2009 - Finished December 2009
And final project started in 2009 for my friends 50th birthday (yes you've guessed in April 2010)
I have amazed myself - I think 2009 was a bumper year for me - I don't know how I managed to finish so many projects - OK, not all of them were started in 2009, and some needed more finishing than others, but a few were completed the same year they were started - very good for me!!!

Wow Wow and wow again
