Getting ready to ring in the new year with 2019 UFO list

Well.......this year has been a very good year.  Busy, but good, in all aspects.  Last years list started at 42 UFOs with the goal to bring that down to 15.  I did a great job and brought the UFOs down to 17 by the end of this year.  This is GREAT!!! no?  It is great, if you don't count the 24 new quilts I started (lol), but who's counting.....😂😋😚

To my defense, 2018 has seen a lot of decluttering, even in my sewing room.  Twenty of the new quilts are NICU quilts that are made up of orphan blocks.  NICU quilts are only approx. 26" square, so will take very little time to finish, as the blocks are, for the most part, already done.  Because they are small, they are using up orphan blocks and they are going to a good cause, I don't really mind these types of additions.  

There was a guilt workshop quilt that I started and finished the top shortly after taking the class.  It just needs to be quilted now.  The last three were part of a coarse that I took to learn different styles of quilting on the longarm machine.  These three I consider learning the trade.  

Any of the other quilts I started throughout the year, I finished all the way.  Soooooo....now we come to December 31st, the time for the reckoning.
