A not-quite-successful challenge...

Nothing But UFOs in 2013 button

It is true. I did not manage to finish a single one of my three challenge projects. Heck, I didn't even manage to do any blogging! But you know what? I'm still feeling like a winner, because I made progress on each of the three projects I chose.

1. Fall Mystery Quilt:

It is now quilted (with some feathers, even!), I'm about 2/3 through the binding, and the label is made. Not done, but very close!

2. Bot Camp Disappearing 9-Patch:

All quilted up and ready for binding (I'm going to use that happy Kona Peacock pictured above). I've also designed the label, but am waiting for our friend's baby to be born so I can personalize it (he's due this week!).

3. Mod Mosaic Quilt:

Once I get the binding on the baby quilt, this one is next in the queue for quilting. But I consider this definite progress. Basting is half the battle, right?

Nothing finished, but a good amount of progress. And if it weren't for the challenge, there is no way I would have gotten this much accomplished. As far as I'm concerned, this challenge has definitely been a success. Thanks, Carrie P.!

Here's hopin' I have some finished quilts to share soon!

  1. Robin,
    you got a lot done. And you can actually enter the giveaway. I was looking at what you listed at the beginning of July. You got the fall quilt quilted so that qualifies to enter the giveaway.
    The 2nd quilt is further than you mentioned so there is another finish,
    You did good even though you thought you didn't.
    So if you want to link up you have time.

  3. You know what - forward motion is what really counts!! The quilting on the fall quilt looks wonderful - can't wait to see the front. :D
