I started tracking at the end of 2006 (a year after my retirement)
The two charts below are a summary of what my accomplishments have been.

This was not my best year, but it is in the top 5. :)

I bought more fabric this year, but much of it was the wide backs.
2008 was my no buy year.
I look at the amount of fabric I have in the cabinet and then in the scrap drawers and wonder why I need to buy anything.

I started counting the number of blocks I make each year.
I don't count until the project is done or the block leaves my house.
I may not actually make the block in the year because if the UFO is put back into the cabinet, it won't be counted until the UFO is finished.
I've slowed down on the number of UFOs I've completed, but I think some of that is because I have the more complicated ones left.
I'm wondering if I need to focus on something else and let the UFOs go for a year.
I'm still debating that thought.
I still like my challenges and will continue with some of them.
I put them all in one place.

The second half of the year was not as productive as the first.
I'm not sure if that was because I worked on some of the ones in the first half during the second or I was just not as productive.

  I don't think I'll join in on the color challenges this year and the 20 minute challenge did nothing for getting things done.

Happy New Year
