New Beginnings
Last year was one of challenges and mixed blessings and I'm hoping that this one is better. I have decided to make a concerted effort to finish off my own UFOs as well as keeping up with the number of charity quilts I donate. Most of my UFOs will be donated as well. I also need to clean out more stash and get the sewing room in order and I'm sure that most of us are thinking the same thing.
I've made a list of 20 UFOs and have finished two off the list so far and will post photos soon. I've also made a quilt using the QAYG method using strips of fabric and batting. It was a great way to use up those skinny pieces of batting and I have another one in progress. It hasn't made much difference to my sewing room yet but I'll keep trying LOL.

It looks wonderful, Jan Mac. I admire your continued committment to the donation quilt because as you said, you had some challenges this past year.
Happy New Year, Jan! Hope 2007 is good to you.
I'm doing the 'reorganize and clear out' thing, too!

I love your string quilt! Quilt as you go ensures that it doesn't sit as a flimsy! Excellent idea to use up those narrow bits of batting we end up with after finishing a quilt!
I like the string quilt - did you find it a pain to assemble the quilt blocks?
I like your QAYG string quilt. When I start making whole Heartstring quilts myself I've thought about doing them this way. Much easier than trying to mush a quilt around my DSM.
Your QAYG is a great idea. I have bags and bags of batting pieces taking up room. Maybe a string quilt is in order. I love the look of your string quilt.
Love your string quilt! These look so good, no matter what they have in them.
I have one of those that has been sitting around because I am intimidated by the process of putting the squares together. Hopefully seeing your great quilt will motivate me to finish mine up.
