Getting Quilts Done Challenge

I'm really trying to GET QUILTS DONE (GQD). I have nearly everything that I've purchased, dreamt about, started and nearly completed listed on my sidebar. I have so many quilts that I want to do and I'm sure you have more than your fair share, too.

I'm looking for a way to get these completed, so I'm going to publicly commit to the following monthly commitment:

1. Complete one block from all the monthly BOMs I have purchased or ones I've committed fabric to. List forthcoming.
2. Complete one quilt top each month.
3. Complete one quilt sandwiched and quilted each month.
4. Complete one quilt sandwiched, quilted and bound each month.

This is a tall order, but I really want to GET QUILTS DONE so I'll just have to be totally humiliated if I don't complete these committments.

I'd started this GETTING QUILTS DONE blog so I could just post about my finishes and I'll use that as a journal of completed quilts. I invite you to join my GETTING QUILTS DONE blog to post your committed challenge and then post about your completed quilts, including photos. Just send me an email at hooked.quilting @ gmail.com (remove spaces) and I'll give you rights to post there.

If you want to join in and really put yourself on the spot and make a commitment, please join me in this GETTING QUILTS DONE Challenge.

If you already have a blog and would prefer to just post your monthly committment there in your sidebar, that's fine, but let me know so I can link to your finished quilt on the GQD blog itself.

Grab the GQD button and place it on your blog and link back here, post your committment (it can be a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly agreement with yourself) and then by the end of the deadline, post your completed quilt.

Good luck and hope you'll join me in Getting Quilts Done!

  1. Putting yourself on the spot on the blog really helps I think. I challenged myself to deal with 22 UFO's last year & I ended the year with only one left! It works, so keep up the good work! Good luck with the CCmystery, I got very bored with it towards the end with all those little bits, but I know after seven of Bonnie's mysteries that there are always lots of little blocks! It does turn out very well.Look forward to seeing yours......

Online Quilt Festival - Spring 2009

What a great idea to host an online Quilt Festival ! Thanks to Amy @ Park City Girl! Be sure to stop by and add your favorite quilt! Well, I really want to join in this huge event, so I'm hoping that an almost completed quilt will qualify! I've chosen my Hungry Caterpillar quilt as my favorite because it is my best to date and who doesn't want to show their best? Of course, I have a long way to go, but I'm learning with each and every quilt. This quilt's story goes like this...it was a kit! I'm not ready to chose my own fabrics/colors just yet (may never be!). I got the kit and went to work trying to hit the one-year old granddaughter's birthday (missed it, of course). I simply loved its simplicity since it was panels that I just put together, but it was a good ego boost for this quilting novice, not to mention the practice I'd gotten! So, I loaded on my new HQ16 with the ProStitcher and it sat until I found a digital pattern to go with it. Once again, I...

Finished Clue 2

Here's Clue #2 of the mystery quilt on the Facebook group. I'm working on a bunch of other projects and will share as I get my act together. LOL

Making Some Headway

Wow, finally got all the Kids Will Be Kids blocks put together!!! On to the borders next! I can't wait to get it on the HQ! I worked on my January calendar and still need a few more days. Can't decide which fabric to add. I was trying to use just what I finished, but I think I'll just use some from current projects because I can't get enough done in one month. :) I also worked on my Double Delight a bit tonight, but I'm having trouble getting my on-point squares to not shift when sewing. I need to get those pins Bonnie talks about in her video on her Quiltville site. That's it for Sunday. Gloria
