June Finishes and July Goals

We’ve made it to July and now is the time for me to recap what I’ve accomplished so far this year and set my goals for June.

At the end of May I had completed 11 UFO’s and 4 2020 starts.

June Finishes

Of the 8 finishes above 2 are UFO’s (started last year or earlier) and 6 are current year starts. I also made a few headbands and a small bag. However, I  haven’t taken photos of those nor am I counting them in my totals.

So,at the end of June I’m at 23 projects finished this year (13 UFO’s and 10 new starts). Still, I have 11 other projects that were started this year! I’d like to go into 2021 with less UFO’s than last year so I have to say vigilant

Goals for June

1. Finish the Take 4 place mats – not done can’t find a backing for them I like. 
2. Find backing for, layer and quilt and bind a larger UFO  (larger means larger than WOF in width) or a new start. If I can’t find studio time I’ll do it at home. – Done! 
3. Finish the purple table runner – Done!
4. Complete one more border on the medallion quilt. – Not even looked at. 
5. Finish one smaller quilt – Done! (actually more than 1 done)

July Goals

1. Finish one smaller quilt
2. Make backing for 2 larger than WOF quilts
3. Layer and finish at least one larger than WOF quilt.
4. Complete one more border on the medallion quilt.
5. Fix the Alletaire top center and add borders.

Let’s see how I do in July.
