I’ve been hemming and hawing about this challenge. Of course I have lots and lots of UFOs (unfinished objects). But ACK — finish them before the New Year? When I have both one of my daughter’s birthdays and Christmas???
SO, instead of counting every UFO I have (seriously, we don’t want to even acknowledge that number), I decided to count my three Christmas quilts which are in various stages of completion:
1. Bethlehem quilt. The top is practically finished — need to connect the 4 big blocks, add a dove and borders, and do all that other quilty stuff.
2. QN magazine snowman quilt. This quilt is the one I finally started at the crafting quilt together and shown here. Currently, the snowmen are in the same state as they were in that picture, but I have started on the trees for the alternate blocks! 5 down, 15 to go! This quilt I think is the one I have the best chance of finishing.
3. “Fun” Snowman quilt. All the fabric is bought, including the backing! I just need to make it! Sounds easy, right???
All of these quilts are just for me, not for gifts, so there is no real urgency to getting them done except it would be nice to use them this Christmas season. So wish me luck! Only a month and a half to get them done and reach my goal!

I'm nanann! I am a 30-something mom to 2 beautiful girls (6 and 4) living in Austin, Texas. I LOVE quilting and have recently taken up sewing clothes since it is just too much fun to do for my girls.
