I made a goal at the beginning of the summer, well really a restriction! I decided I absolutely HAD to finish six of my twelve WIP's before the end of the summer and before I started any new projects. Well, I finished two. So much for goals. I've never been good with goals, deadlines yes, goals never. Such a bummer. So I changed my goals, I have to finish one WIP before I start any new quilts. One for one. It's working much better and now I feel a sense of accomplishment! So what are your goals (restrictions)?

Here's the WIP that I am finishing this week!
Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced
ReplyDeleteI love pinwheels! It looks great! Funny, I have a bunch of those fabrics! My restrictions/goals? Well, I don't have too many restrictions, which could be why I have so many WIPs, but one of my goals is to use up all my charm packs and layer cakes. I've got a ton!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the pinwheels! My first quilt (the only one I've finished actually) is made with pinwheels ~ they're just so fun!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! At the begining of the summer I made a list of WIPs and crossed them out, and now I need to do that again, because the new exciting projects always jump the queue...
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Maybe I need to try that 1 for 1 system too -- my wips/ufos are out of control.
ReplyDeleteI think the one for one goal is a great idea. I like goals better than restrictions. Did you have a reward in mind for those goals this summer? I just found a "finish it up" linky party. Too bad I missed the deadline, but I guess it runs every quarter. You link a post that describes your goals for the quarter, and then at the end of the quarter you link your finishes. Then, for every finish, your name goes in a hat for a prize. I think that it's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteMy goal for the fall was to learn how to hand quilt, and to learn how to FPP. I learned FPP and EPP, which I am thrilled about! I still have time for the hand quilting.
I love your border of cars driving around the pinwheels. It is so cute! Is this quilt for anyone in particular?
Love the fun fabric you used!
ReplyDeleteI understand about making goals/restrictions. I find that if I have a "deadline" like making something by show date, or by this date, I am much more focused. Another arbitrary goal I have is to post progress on my blog once a week. This keeps me moving and doing SOMETHING more each week so I can SEE my progress.
