Design Wall Monday

I have been working on several different projects and they sure keep me busy.
Orca Bay -
I try to sew a few parts every evening and adding them slwoly to the lay-out.

Hometown Cherries -
I joined the "Made in Cherry Quilt Along" and cut my Hometown FQ's on Sunday and am sewing slowly row by row together. Still deciding which background fabric to choose - please let me kow your pick!
1. Upper left corner: Kona Charcoal
2. Upper right corner: Muslin/ off white
3. Lower left corner: Kona Ash
4. Lower right corner: Babbles
Sorry for the poor picture -
it's been gloomy and my flash isn't quite working.

Friendship Strips UFO -
I am trying to find a nice lay-out and background fabric - this is just a mock-up:

I am linking up to Judy's Patchwork Place
where you'll find a ton of inspiring design walls -
go and have a look!

2012 UFO challenge

This will be my 2nd year of joining Judy's UFO challenge.
While I will be listing 12 projects and see whichever one gets chosen, I may need to adjust my monthly project by season. Seems to be more difficult for me to do summer projects, so we'll see how it goes. But I will try to get more than 5 UFO's done, so I can beat my 2011 finished UFO!

1. Orca Bay mystery - while it is still ongoing, I will have to work on almost all steps; hope to get it done as a quilt top by the end of 2012!

2. Jelly Roll Race quilt: is promised to be given to a friend, latest for her birthday in May; it needs quilting and binding

3. Lenora's quilt: I gave a her pictures of several quilt tops and am waiting for her to pick one!
???

4. Friendship strips: we had a strip exchange going last year and I really would like to finish it into a top


5. Mod Blossom: needs quilting

6. Houndstooth top: needs quilting

7. Modern Cross; add borders, quilt


8. Farmer's wife: make 10 more blocks (or it would be an overwhelming task...)

9. Binding for Cathedral Stars quilt

10. Binding for Jelly Roll quilt along quilt


11. Tropical Twist: needs borders - hope to find a for me do-able solution


12. Flying geese: finish top (and quilt)


That's my list - please check all the other participants listed on Judy's blog -
and maybe you will join yourself!
It sure helps to get things moving along!

Happy UFO sewing in 2012!
