I had a lot of computer work to do so the only work I got done today on the t-shirt quilt was to take out the hems of the neck scarves.
I did get my UFO/to-do list for 2021 together as far as quilting goes. Items 10 thru 14 are new. I have another list for things I need to finish around the house. I hadn't updated this list in several years. I do like to tape pictures of my UFO/to-do projects on a door so in case I can't think of what to do next I can just look at the door!
1. Amish diamond 42" square I made this many years ago
2. Hand dyed striped quilt 74" x 85" When I was cleaning up on 1/4/2015 I found this quilt and had forgotten that I had not finished quilting all the black stripes.
3. Log Cabin quilt - this is the second large quilt I had pieced. I had started to hand quilt this and it kept getting pushed aside. After two moves and several home remodels, the quilt was filthy and back then I used the batting that was available - polyester. I took out the hand quilting, washed the top and back, and plan to machine quilt this. This is my oldest UFO - 30+ years - and yes, I am going to get 'er done!
4. Improv musical quilt - queen sized - I have started quilting this, but had to put is aside.
5. Log cabin hand dyed fabric - look at the date - 2010! I don't remember the challenge I made this for, but I am way pass the entry date for sure!
I started hand quilting this in 2020.6. Black and white star top - queen sized
7. 90" x 99"
8. Red lips 30" x 43"
9. Make some quilts out of Dad's clothes made one quilt for Kathy finished Sept. 2016. I need to make several more.
9. Gee's Bend workshop piece
10. T-shirt quilt for A. Smith
11. Harley quilt for the 11th annual poker run. Here is my box of shirts I will work from. They are leftovers from previous years.
12. Finish this Christmas stocking for my sister's daughter
13. Make a flannel quilt for a fellow that helps out with my nephew's band.
14. Wall hanging made with Jimmy Buffet t-shirts. Needs the embroidery finished, then bound.
15. Finish cutting up the scraps in these two bins
then make lots of quilts out of all the scraps I have been cutting!

I like the idea of tacking up pictures of UFO/projects underway. I’m a visual person and if it’s in a box or a drawer, well I just won’t remember it. Once we have moved, I’ll take pictures as I unload. Excellent idea!
Patty, what a great idea about putting up the project pictures on the door... I really like that idea! Lots of interesting projects you have going. My goal for this week is to put away the Christmas decorations (I left them up longer than I normally do so my mother-in-law has something to look at and enjoy). I'll take care of that this week and then hoping to work on my quilting projects again. I start back at the quilt shop this Thursday evening and Saturday.
You are quite ambitious. Love watching your progress.
That is an ambitious list. The really old ones are the hardest to go back to. I have one I signed on the front 1989 and it keeps nagging me to finish it.
I don't know if project pictures would encourage me or discourage me, but I have absolute confidence in your ability to work through them.
Good projects and great idea to pin reminder photos. I recognize some scouting neckerchiefs in one t-shirt project. A couple of your projects seem pretty close to completion and should be quick finishes. Maybe. But my favorite is the Gee's Bend improv.
Good luck!
Great list! I should do something similar.
