A Lovely Year of Finishes

I received an invitation the other day to join Melissa of Sew BitterSweet Designs and Shanna of Fiber of All Sorts' 2013 challenge, "A Lovely Year of Finishes".  I need all the motivation I can get to finish things that I start sewing and I love joining in so I thought 'why not'!  Here's how it works (copied from their blogs):

Each month pick one project, anything you like (it can even be an entirely new project, so long as you can finish it in the current month) and tell yourself, “I Will Finish It.” Then write a blog post about the project and link it up to our Goal Setting linky party. Spend the rest of the month working on your finish. We will have a mid-month check, and though you are not required to link up to that post, it would be fun to see your progress! Finally, after you have finished your project, write a second (or third) post showing us your Lovely Finish and link it up to our “Finishes Party.”
So for January, my goal is to finally finish my Scrappy Wonky Star quilt which has been basted for well over two weeks now.  I MUST get it done in January because I told myself I had to finish a WiP before I could start something else -- and I have a dozen things I want to start!!


Wish me luck with my first goal and to finishing!!!  Linking to Freshly Pieced.

    I love the border on this quilt. It really adds a nice finish to the quilt. I may "borrow" this idea for my next wonky quilt. Thanks for sharing.

    Love this, Amy! What a great way to use not-necessarily-modern scraps and make a modern-looking quilt! Ooh...I want to start a new project...but must resist and finish some that are in the works first...!!!
