I am way overdue for updating this list. It was November 2021 the last time I posted it. There were 72 items on the list then. There are only a few new WIPs from 2022, bee blocks, a project that I didn't finish in time for the SAQA Benefit Auction, and a set of 4 mini compositions from a class last October that just need to be finished up. The good news is that the projects I've started in 2023 so far have both been finished.
The Numbers
- 19 quilts from the list were finished in 2022.
- 13 were purged from my WIP list, passed along to other people, back into stash/scrap bins, or moved into workshop supplies as class samples.
- 47 quilts currently on the list:
- 12 are finished quilt tops
- 12 projects are quilting in progress or just need binding/finishing
I've rearranged my list to be in order of oldest to newest. I'm currently working on two of these projects, so I hope they will be quilt tops soon. Some quilt tops are being held on to specifically so that I can quilt them when I get my new longarm machine in the latter half of 2023. I think in the case of some of these older projects at the top of the list... I need to fish or cut bait. (Pun intended.)
After you scroll through the list, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments... how do you feel about WIPs/UFOs? How many do you have? What is your oldest one? What catches your eye in my list?

I love when you do these posts and I remember many of your photos from years past. I have 12 official WIPs, but I don't count orphan blocks or the things my children have pieced together and left in my sewing room. I have been on a kick of finishing old QAL projects, which is where most of my WIPs come from. I just finished one from 2019, but my oldest is from 2013 (it's a 6.5" block representing every quilt I've ever made; at some point I need to just sew them together because the stack is getting out of control!).
I love what you are doing with your Trinket blocks, but I really want to see the Rainbow Remix finished!

Post authorThank you, Karin. My son has one project in progress... it's not on my list. My daughter's most recent finish will be hanging at QuiltCon. A number of my projects started as quilt alongs. I love the idea of a memory quilt with blocks representing each of your finished quilts,. I followed someone years ago who did that with simple pieced cat blocks. I was inspired and started making house blocks. Let's just say, two houses in I realized I had bit off way more than I could chew and just finished those as mini quilts and dropped that project. I just finished another pile of Trinket blocks, so I'm up to 22 finished blocks (out of 40). Rainbow Remix has had some progress, though I didn't include a new photo here. Oops. It needs the whole design wall to be available for me to be able to get back to it. Thanks for visiting!
