I participated in all six challenges for Project QUILTING in Q1, making 4 mini quilts and two bags. I also made the first of my Island Batik projects, a pair of mug rugs and and a mini quilt. I also finished seven mug rugs from my Q1 list (though they didn't get shared on the blog of linked up). I finished my Wonderlust baby quilt and my minimalism challenge for Curated Quilts. Lastly, I finally put the binding on my Midnight Mystery quilt, giving me one large finish for the quarter. That's 16 quilts in Q1!
Last quarter the list got up to a whopping 45 WIPs. With the addition of a few new projects that number has been knocked to 40 for Q2. They are arranged here by stage of the project. Stay tuned! ;-)

Oh My! You do have a large list - and I know the feeling. Finishing 5 is a major achievement. Good luck!
sarah
Post authorThanks, Kathleen! It's a little daunting, but I like to have a good sense of what I have in progress, so I like the quarterly list... even if some have been featured for many quarters. ;-)

Wow Sarah. You have a massive list here. I'm overwhelmed looking at it but it's so inspiring seeing all you are working on.
sarah
Post authorIt's all about deciding which are the current priority. ;-) Right now there aren't any projects that I'm willing to purge, so for now they all stay on the list. :-) Thanks for visiting, Lisa.

There are some great projects in this list. I'm working on re-doing my WIP tonight. I need to make it detailed as to what needs to be done for each project. I also want to attach some timelines -- need to get moving on getting stuff done.
sarah
Post authorI need to take a second look at my list and decide what the top priorities are... For now I'm focusing on a couple Island Batik projects and a quilt for the Stash Statement blog hop (featuring green and ORANGE!), due for me in a few weeks. I'm also getting close to packing up my sewing room.
Mary
You have no shortage of options. Happy finishing!

Post authorSo true! Thank you for visiting, Mary!
Daisy
Holy buckets of projects!!!! I love that sweet memory house. Good luck with them all - you seem quite organized!!! :)
sarah
Post authorThank you, Daisy. I like to be fully aware of all the projects in progress... it reduces uncertainty or something. ;-)

Such an organized, if long, list. I am so impressed that in the first quarter you finished more than you added. I wish I was that good! Good luck on continuing the great progress. On behalf of the 2018 global FAL hosts, thank you for participating in the FAL.
