One of my strategies for being productive in 2019 is to observe a correspondence between my unfinished quilt projects and my new starts. This doesn't necessarily mean I must have an exact one-to-one start/finish ratio … but at least I'm going to try to have made an effort to move an old one forward before I begin something new. Soooo, since I'll be undertaking several new RSC activities this month, I needed to rack up some
progress on a UFO.
Here is my last visit to my Blockheads 2 project, a Moda sew-along that began last February. The sew-along is still ongoing, but I decided sometime last summer to step away -- to use the blocks I had already accumulated, and do my own (smaller) version of the official project. (A side observation here: I've decided that I'm not committing to any more long-term sew-alongs for a while. This year I'm choosing to work at my own pace on my own areas of interest.)
Anyway, here's where it stood in October:
At that point, I needed to finish my layout with a few more blocks, assemble the rows with setting triangles, and add borders. I'm happy to report that the top is now done, and ready to be layered and quilted! I have backing and binding set aside on the 'almost done' pile, and the project tub can now be emptied. I'd really like to have this quilt finished for February -- I'll be continuing to give it attention in the coming week or so.

I used to have the mantra " finish two before starting new." Well, you know that never worked!
I too am working on things half way done, LOL! You make such lovely progress...I have only printed out the patterns for blockheads 2!!
Beautiful solution! Love this top. Romantic and reminds me of old timey Valentines 😊
