Pointless Quilter

I make annual goals here on my blog and as usual, I go through and check which goals I finished that year.  Here's a link to my goals for 2018.  6 of my 10 goals are done.  Circle of Illusion - haven't touched it. Orca Bay - haven't touched it Twirly Balls - Done Rainbow Nest - Done Fat Quarter Shop Designer Mystery - Done On Ringo Lake - Done Jamestown Landing - half done The Quilt Show Halo Medallion - Done Local guild mystery - Done, made 2 Use up a fat quarter pack - I cut 2 up for this years' Bonnie Hunter mystery and also for the Blockheads 2 block of the week. Here are my goals for this next year.  Jamestown Landing - but in Oranges. Orca Bay - since I'm on a Bonnie Hunter kick 7 blocks done, I call this my Block of the Year program.  It takes about a year to finish one block (hand applique).  I want to get at least two blocks finished this year. Circle of Illusion - like I said last year I know what I want to do ...

You never think you do a lot until you try to put all the pictures together at the end of the year and then think to yourself, I did a ton of stuff! And the ornament exchange between my siblings.  We have to make a home made ornament for the siblings.  The older kids also get an ornament instead of money or other gifts now.  Welcome to adulthood.  :) Thanks for looking. Tomorrow I will work on my 2019 goals and a review of how I did with my 2018 goals. 

My friendship group has an annual challenge.  It's not a requirement to participate.  This year the people who signed up exchanged 20 Flying Geese blocks to each person who signed up.  There were 10 of us.  We had to have the geese done in the Spring when we met and then we have until our Christmas party to put the quilt together.  We had our Christmas party this past Saturday.  Here is my quilt.    See all those 2" squares in the border (finished at 1.5")?  I thought for sure my shoebox filled with those squares would be empty after I finished.  But it didn't even make a dent.  Anna's Challenge.  She says she hates this quilt and is giving it away! Barb S Quilt - she has some wonderful quilting opportunities here.  She's still deciding if she wants to add another row  Debbie was able to use some big UFO blocks using her Garden Girls. Diane had good intentions.  She has her blocks done...
