2012 quilts

I"m trying something new this year.  I'm going to document my goals (very loosely interpreted) for this year and see how far I get.  This is just the start of the goals, as I only started thinking about it at 9.30PM on 12/28 - I'm giving myself until 1/1/12 to come up with a list. Hmmmm where to start

1. Check -  Make more charity quilts in 2012  (2011 - 7 charity quilts made) - done - 8 in August and still working on this
2. No Check - King size quilt for my bed
3. No Check  -Queen size quilt for guest bed 2
4. Check  - Get proficient on the long arm machine - SewCalGal FMQ challenge should help with this.
5. Check  - Start either Dear Jane or Farmers Wife (note I didn't say finish) - done started this year and still making progress
6. No Check  - Complete at least one of the BOMs from 2011 that I saved.
7. Abandon Goal - Use more fabric than I purchase in 2012 - well I may have to keep track then - this may be more work than it's worth. - man this just not gonna happen, but hey I do use a lot of fabric and it all still fits in the sewing room 
8. No Check  - SITP - I really want one of those but not sure I can make a king or queen
9. Check  - Fall quilt to hang in the hall way
10. Check  - At least half the quilts that I quilt need to be quilted looser than my comfort zone - uh oh that's gonna be a tough one
11. No Check  - Daughter number 1 needs a football quilt (plaid strings with a flannel back)
12. Check  - Wedding quilt for Steve and Lindsey  - done
13. No Check  -At least 25% of quilts made should be my own design - another tough one

That's a pretty healthy list. The year ended with one abandon goal the then a 50% split on the remaining goals, half completed, half not.  All in all I think it was a wonderfully quilty year.
