Trail Mix and Mt Hood blocks. The 9 patches for Summer at the Lake are made and labeled in baggies.
I thought 170+ 9 patches would make a dent in the 30's stash but no such luck.
This is only part of what's left. Maybe one more quilt from this box and I will put it away for a while. See everyone's design wall at Patchwork Times.
Weekly Goals--
- Load and quilt a top
- finish binding Tilted Rails quilt
- Trail Mix blocks
- Mt Hood blocks

My goodness, your machine must be smoking!
Great progress on your projects.
Like you, I am usually surprised at how little my stash shrinks as I finish a project--that in spite of needing more fabric than I expected to complete it! Go figure.
Weekly goals don't motivate me; if something better comes up, I find them easy to ignore. Now deadlines, on the other hand...
Your blocks are so pretty. And I am convinced fabric multiplies in the piles and cabinets. I decided I'm setting goals for myself this year... hopefully it will help keep me focused. Happy New Year!
I like to do monthly and yearly goals. They keep me focused. I also tend to have weekly goals, which are undocumented. I know in my head what "needs" to be done and what I would like to do.
I really love 1930s fabrics but haven't used many of the ones in my stash. But I sure enjoy looking at them on the shelf next to my cutting table.
I did monthly goals in 2013 and I do think it helped me focus on finishing things up. My plan is to move one thing to the flimsy stage every month from the "barely started" list. We'll see how I do.
must confess, i've gotten to the 'easily distracted by the new stuff' stage in my quilting life.
as a result i have fabric and patterns set aside for planned quilts that are going on 5 years old.
last year i did go thru those boxes and cull a few so only the good ones are left. I still haven't figured out how to ignore the new stuff, however.
I like lists, usually weekly or daily, to check things off and keep me busy! ; )
