The LIST

The two words for my 2017: "Habit" and "Endure"

with my dreamcatcher doodles :)

Several people are rolling out link parties and challenges with resolutions for the new year, so I thought it was a great opportunity for me to look back at my 2016 list and see what I did there!

So this is the 2016 list, with the current status of each project.

1. Play with Me QAL - hosted this extra fun QAL (confession: I haven't put together my quilt just yet O_O). It was a great success and brought me to the 2017 QAL so I am happy about this project!!!
2. "Jane Tiger, the Nearly Insane Wife of a Farmer" - completely abbandoned... I designed the full layout, made few blocks, but it fell off the ongoing project train early in the year :)
3. Block Swap Adventure quilt - I continued the swap for few months, then it was suspended for lack of participants, then I started a new swap on Ello, and that got suspended too for the lack of participants... oh, well... 
4. Charity quilts for Fran and the Quilts for DC General Homeless Shelter project - wow, I didn't work on this much unfortunately! I have 3 quilts done, few pillow cases and several extra quilt tops ready... I need to get my head in the game!!
5. Americana QAL - done, completed, gifted.
6. Play with Me 2016 QAL - duplicate of 1 :) I must have been tired when I wrote the list!!
7. Allietare QAL - top completed, and in the pile to donate for charity...
8. Pantone Color of the Year 2016 - completed
9. The SK project - many blocks got done... still very far from completion, but good progress here!!
10. the 31000 Xs project - abandoned, no progress throughout the year....
11. Spirit cross stitch project - abandoned, no progress throughout the year.... 
12. Mirror Mirror Afghan - abandoned, no progress throughout the year....
13. Alice in Wonderland quilt - abandoned, no progress throughout the year....
14. As You Wish -  abandoned, no progress throughout the year....
15. Crazy optical illusion - abandoned, no progress throughout the year....
16. Memory quilt 2 - abandoned, no progress throughout the year....

Ok... so it seemed like I didn't do much from the list... but I promise that I had a ton of completed projects, they just seemed to come along during the year so they were not in the initial list!! :)

I will feature all my accomplishment in a separate post at the end of January for my blogoversary! I think I accomplished a lot, but I need some time to collect them all in one post :)

And now... what about 2017?
Let's make another list!!! Let's make it SHORTER so I may be able to accomplish more!! :)

1. GROWING UP QAL - I had so much fun hosting a QAL that I want to do it again! This year will be more "traditional" because it will have 12'' finished blocks but they are all kind of techniques, skills, sashings, etc... as usual a great learning experience
   
   
2. Splendid Sampler - I just want some progress here, just more blocks done. I don't aim at completing it, but just at working on it
3. Charity quilts - I want to complete the tops that I have and then deliver the quilts to the final destination. My goal is around 7 quilts
4. SK project - I want to complete all the blocks, not the final quilt, but at least all the missing blocks
5. Be a good QUEEN :) - well... I don't know if I am supposed to say it yet... but I will be a Queen for the Molli Sparkle's "The Honey Pot Bee"!!!!! I already have an idea for the block... just wait and see
6. Pantone Color of the Year 2017 - planning my traditional mini
7. En Provence QAL - Planning to add this on the pile of donation quilts... maybe... not sure about the final layout yet :)
8. Bullet Journaling into my Quilter's Planner - planning to explore and expand my new obsession with planning! 
9. 70273 Project - keep working and supporting this amazing project!

9 projects to track and advance seems to be duable. I am also planning to decide what to do with the UFO that I abandoned in 2016... they probably just need some time to rest :)

This list is shared in for the following link parties and challenges:
