First - destashing. I'm working with small pieces, so small number generated for this week. What with Bliss hexagons, En Provence units, test block, new baby quilt, and leaders and enders, I've used up about a yard of fabric. Then there was the back of the last baby quilt, so there was another 1.16 yards. My new YTD total is
55.63 yards.
Up on my design wall is a new baby quilt top:
These are again fabrics which I pulled out of a St. Anne's scrap bag. I'm trying to use them up. I'm finding using the companion angle ruler and strips quite quick and easy to make the hourglass units. These blocks are 6 1/2" unfinished made from 3 1/2" strips. Off to see what else is in that bag.

Oh! I was looking through your UFO' and saw your Love Entwined. Mine is at about the same point of completion. I can't believe I forgot to put it on my list. I think I'll work on it when I have finished the monthly UFO obligation.
ReplyDeletewow! You have beautiful projects to finish in 2017. It'll be fun to see them get closer to the finish line. Love the Love Entwined centre. Lovely! ;^)

ReplyDeleteyou have certainly been busy, must use my companion angle ruler along with others bought and never tried!
ReplyDeleteLove the applique piece so colourful
You have some lovely quilts on your list. Good luck with your 2017 goals. It's good to remember that any progress is good even if we don't get to a finish.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a fun year ahead--good luck with your list!! I don't dare start listing my UFO's--I would probably have to be sedated from the stress--haha!
ReplyDeletewonderful UFOs I have three of them myself. Funny if we work on them at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie, you are so organized about listing all of your goals and objectives, that we are extremely impressed. We love the way you know exactly what is to be done on each project. That is why you make such wonderful progress. Thank you for inspiring us ! :-) Love and blessings, from Marina and Daryl Lynn
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting projects to finish! I have a different one of Esther Aliu's designs on my list. It will be fun working on our UFOs along with Judy next year.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! With two challenges you're bound to get things done! Thanks for joining in and I'm looking forward to seeing your progress during the year.
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely projects that you are going to be working on. Your LE centre is beautiful and so glad you plan to finish it. Im now on to the borders but it is very very slow and I'll still be doing it in 4 or 5 years time I think. LOL So it is not on my list of 17 !!!!! Cheers Glenda
ReplyDeleteso many beautiful projects - glad you are joining in the challenge :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea. Yes. It's sometimes good to have someone else say "start here". Giggle.
