2019 UFO Challenge List
Details for joining the 2019 American Patchwork & Quilting UFO Challenge may be found here. On the Facebook Group for this event, project #3 was announced for January.
Knowing my crafty time will be short and that I want to make a lot of progress on my cross-stitch projects, I tried to make my UFO list pretty simple this year.

1. Sun, Sand, and Sea Block of the Month hosted by Sew Incredibly Crazy & Friends. I need to complete the last block - "Hammock Time", sew the top together, add a border, label, quilt & bind this. You may find more details about this project here. Please note: Craftsy just removed patterns from some stores, so not all links to the blocks may work.
2. Make my "LOVE" Wall Quilt. Blocks were embellished through the Crazy Quilting International (CQI) 2014 Hearts Round Robin. You may see how the blocks arrived home to me here. And how I embellished the "E" block here.
3. Create a zipper pouch with this "Mom" heart I embroidered in 2017. You may see that post here.
4. My March Crazy Quilt Journal Project (CQJP) 2017 block needs a bit more embellishment before it may be sewn into a project. You may learn more about it here.
Do you think I should make it part of a tote bag? Or a cover for a 12-inch pillow?
5. My December CQJP 2014 block needs to be embellished. It will be the outer pocket on a tote bag.
6. I colored this fabric back in 2017 (maybe?) to create a Halloween mug rug. It is ready to be quilted and bound.
7. In June of 2013, I began working on my first crazy quilted messenger bag, featuring pink Oregon State University Fabric. It is time to finish it up. This panel is almost fully embellished.
8. This panel of my pink OSU messenger bag needs a fair amount of embellishing.
9. The strap of my pink OSU messenger bag needs to be embellished.
10. The sides/bottom strip of my pink OSU messenger bag needs to be embellished.
11. Once all of the pieces are embellished, the messenger bag needs to be sewn together. The bag is based upon Butterick Pattern B4147. It was adapted to add the crazy quilting. (This photo is from December 2017.) More posts about this project may be found here.
12. I think I pieced this for a crazy quilt fabric postcard in 2016 when I created this tutorial for the Crazy Quilting International blog, but I am not sure. It has been sitting in a box for quite some time and I plan to finish it this year.
With my schedule this year, I do not expect to finish all of these projects this year. However, I know I will make more progress through this challenge than I would without participating.
Thank you for stopping by!
Renee

You have such interesting, lovely projects ahead. I enjoy all your work but have some favorites picked out I'll be on especial look out for. Good luck with the challenge! I'll be cheering you on!
Good luck! I will enjoy cheering you along the way.
I like the premise behind this challenge and if I had enough UFO's I think I'd enjoy it. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I only have a couple UFO's and so it won't work for me.
Until now you have had a lot of time for stitching, 2019 will be more of a challenge to find the time, won't it. I am sure you will finish everything on your list, you are so determined.
Best wishes for 2019.
What a great array of different projects. I like the idea of an UFO list for the year. My problem is I’ve got too many ideas to start as well as finish those already started. All the best and enjoy your stitching time of 2019.
