Back in January I signed up to start 15 new projects the first 15 days of the year, and complete them. Ha! I have finished 8, I believe, but started many more over the year. This is one. It is a quilt for my mom. The plan was to have it done before her birthday which is at the end of the month. The picture above is of all the fabrics I hand-dyed. The picture to the left is the blocks I have pieced and cut. Today was to be a massive sewing day, but alas, all the squares needed to be recut. Yuck! Thanks to my friend Sue who helped and Cheryl who helped lay out the blocks. I managed to get 3 rows done and I hope to get it all pieced soon. Hope springs eternal here at Beth's Needlework Stash! DS #2 has offered to help and DD already helped stack and label rows. DS #1 is offering moral support...

Beth-I laughed out loud when I saw the title of your post! Of course, I just finished reading your comment on my blog post of today about the CJC :)
My favorite part here is "Hope springs eternal here at Beth's Needlework Stash!"
I think the CJC is to motivate us to get going! And we both did! You had a very productive year and got so much accomplished.
But I do like your idea of some different rules next year :)
Wow! A massive project from dying to cutting and all! I will cheer from here!
The quilt will be beyond beautiful!! What a blessing for your mother.
