FAL: First Quarter Wrap Up {2014}

Way back in early January I wrote up an optimistic list of projects I wanted to finish in the first quarter of the year.  Here's a re-cap of what REALLY happened:

1. Swoon 2013
This is definitely NOT a finish. This past weekend I did get my sashing and one of the three borders added, so I hope to have a finished top to show you in the near future.  This will slide onto my Q2 list happily.


A finish!  This little cross stitch is now complete and hanging at my desk at work.  I absolutely love it.



3.  Modern Irish Bee Quilt: Twinkle Twinkle
It's a personal triumph that I pulled this out and started working on it again.  That said, it is 100% not finished.  I have the center blocks pieced and a plan sketched for the exterior 8 blocks.  This too will slide into my Q2 to-do list.


4. Mini Spools Quilt:
No progress what so ever.  Moving on....

5. Donation Quilt for Mexico City
A finish!  It's not my most favorite finish of all time, but I'm delighted that it's done and on its way to its new home.



Two out of five isn't brilliant, but it isn't a total failure.  Two of those that I haven't finished yet have a bit of motivation behind them now and that's what counts.  Linking up with Miss Katy and my FAL friends.  Katy, thanks a mil for organizing us!

Sure I've seen further progress on Twinkle! It has been an achievement! Now quilt and finish Swoon! Please!

2 is good! I'm batting zero at the moment. Love what you did with the bee blocks on point and you're nearly there with Swoon!

I like when things slide into the next quarter, makes writing a list easier ;) That home sweet bone is just too cute!

Sliding into the next quarter just means there are some familiar friends to take you through the year ;o)
