2021 UFO Challenge

 January 1, 2021 

My Quilt Guild - Brandywine Valley Quilters Guild has issued a challenge to its members. 

• Create a list of 11 unfinished projects to be completed during 2021.
  
• Record the list on a Google Docs and submit to the Guild for accountability.
  
• At the monthly meeting on Zoom, a number will be drawn and that is the quilt you work on that month. 
• Prizes will be given monthly.

My UFO List:

1. Temperature Quilt - Visual representation of the year I was born. 3 months are done, 9 more to go. Then sandwiching, quilting and binding. 
2. 2020 Monthly Color Challenge - blocks are completed, top needs to be sewn togther, sandwiched, quilted and bound.
3. Interleave - the center Interleaved block is made. I envisioned a medallion style quilt. Long way to go.
4. Lucy's Love Notes - The Project Linus 2020 Mystery Quilt. Ready for sandwiching and quilting.
5. Gypsy Wife - I love this quilt and have spent way too much time on this quilt without finishing it.
6. Gnome for Christmas - Applique pieces are ironed and need to be sewn. Sew top together and quilt.
7. Hen Party - same as #6.
8. Snow Sew Along - Only 4 out of 12 blocks completed. 
9. 100 Modern Quilt Blocks - 48 blocks completed. Considering  a shadow box setting.
10. 2019 Monthly Color Challenge. Blocks completed, top needs to be sewn together.
11.  Harmony - Needs borders, quilting and binding
    

 

 I'm ready! All of the patterns, fabric, etc. are in numbered plastic boxes. 

This UFO activity will be a challenge because I have already committed to making "Wanda" starting in January. Wanda is a Gudrun Sew Along, info at GE Quilt Designs. 

I am also a blogger for the 2021 Monthly Color Challenge, this is my 4th year doing this Challenge. Patterns by Jen designs and hosts the challenge each year. Her instructions are well-written, clear and the monthly project is a lot of fun! Join us at https://www.facebook.com/groups/259684534541789. Patterns will be posted at https://patternsbyjen.blogspot.com/2020/12/announcing-2021-monthly-color-challenge.html.

 I will be blogging and posting throughout the year on my progress.

#9 was chosen for the month of January! It is the 100 Modern Quilt Blocks and I finished the top and have sent it to the Long Arm quilter. For more information - https://pennyformythoughts-nona.blogspot.com/2021/01/2021-ufo-challenge-january.html
