| First pillow completely finished! |
I considered making this a 'resolutions' post but I don't make resolutions. I prefer goals because they are something you work toward and meet at your own pace. Resolutions are for a year and that's just stressful, or in some cases, too long for me to slack! However, I do like the idea of starting fresh in January.
This year, I am working toward finishing all of my WIPs. I was going to start with the oldest but I put that one aside again. It's a quilt that will be double-sided but my measurements for the back were off and now it needs to be fixed. Plus, it's for me so it's low on the priority list.

So what is a priority? Living room pillows! Seriously, I've been making them for two years - pathetic, really.
As an added incentive (besides having nice pillows for the couch) I was invited to join the Pillow Pop group on flickr. The group will be making pillows based on the patterns in Pillow Pop by Heather Bostic of .House. of A La Mode. In other words, NO EXCUSES not to get them done!

Each one will be a different pattern. Right now I'm only making two sizes (18x18 and 24x24) but I'm hoping to include a couple round ones and a bolster or two. We'll see...
Anyone else trying to knock out some old WIPs this year? How do you prioritize your projects?
I have that book too and am in a group making some of the designs from it!!! I'm excited to get started. As far as WIP's go... I have a bin full of them, and I keep adding to the pile. Someday I will prioritize and get them done. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteIs that the Misfits QAL? I was thinking I might double-dip :) We should challenge each other to finish some WIP's. Maybe the incentive could be our backpacking trip!
