Quilty Goals!

:

So I've recently become obsessed with quilting, and the accompanying fabric-hoarding and blog-stalking that comes with it. Although I've yet to complete my first real quilt (I do have two that are oh so close!), I still am setting some goals for myself for the upcoming year, inspired by this blog post here.

Without further ado, I present my 5 quilt-y goals for 2015:



1. Do something with flying geese. I LOVE flying geese anything but have yet to attempt a single one! **After writing in my quilts I want to make this year (see list below this list) I realize my desert arrows has flying geese in it- yay! Win win win!

2. Make one quilt-as-you-go quilt. With two littles who don't like sleeping as much as they should, it's hard to sew, quilt, etc. I'm hoping that the QAYG process will make a big finish much more manageable by allowing me to utilize smaller chunks of time.

3. Make a quilt with a non-white background. This is my inspiration quilt here. So, so lovely.

4. Take a quilt-y class. Most likely on craftsy, but I NEED to know some good tricks, especially if they make any part of the process faster! I am the slowest!!

5. Practice free motion quilting until I am happy enough with a design that I can use it in a quilt. I love the look of straight line quilting, (and wavy line quilting) but also think I could be really good at FMQ if I practiced, and found some design I loved enough to use on a quilt.

And just so I have it written down somewhere, here's my so-far quilts-to-make list for the upcoming year:

1. Eva's baby quilt (finish)
2. Clarissa's baby quilt (finish)
3. Theo's baby quilt
4. A baby quilt for Sondra
5. Emma's wedding quilt
6. QAYG for Mackay
7. A quilt for my grandparents
8. Make my Desert Arrows quilt for meee! (I got the quilt kit for Christmas! Yay!)

I hope there will be more!
