Summary of 2021 and 2022 plans

 My goal is always to use 200 net yards of fabric, which means I can buy, but I need to make sure I use more than I buy. 

I need to use 14 yards before the end of the year to get to that goal. 

I don't think it is going to happen, but who knows. 

If I'd get this binding done on a test quilt, I'd be closer. LOL

 My goal for 2022 will still be 200 yards. Here is a summary of the last five years that I've been tracking.

I am hoping 2022 is a better year all around.

My word is going to be PEACE, or it could be PIECE

I want a peaceful household where I can piece to my heart's content, including finishing.

Quilting Gail has a spreadsheet to track what you are working on during the year.

 Her challenge was to complete all new starts. 

I did well until September. 

Then, my completions went off a cliff.

Even with that, my summary is good.

Summary:

41 UFOs completed

23 new starts

3 not done 

All three are test quilts

64 quilt-related items in 2021

I'm amazed that I started that many things in 2021. 
I've not tracked that before, so it was a surprise.

That is probably how many I start each year because of the testing I do for others. 

It's a good way to do new things, and it is fun.

 

What am I going to do in 2022?

1.      Work on UFOs

2.      Work with my scrap bins

3.      Make some String Blocks/Quilts

4.      Remain conscious of the new starts
