What a great idea! I got a quilt frame for Christmas so I could finish up a load full of quilts I started to write them down and got to about 63 before I stopped counting. I’m sure I missed a bunch in the counting, I have 10 shop hop quilts that will all take 40 or so blocks to complete, so maybe I can get a good jump on them…Thanks for spurring me on..

Okay, I’m in. I won’t make one each and every day but will try to make 7 a week or an equivalent average. Must find calendar to keep track.

Starting today………

My UFOs are mostly waiting for embroidery, quilting and binding. I also have a couple of projects I’m piecing (including those little houses from scraps) and a couple of sets of blocks to put together into tops! AHHH!

I also have many projects I want to do that are not even started, just a group of fabrics and a pattern and an idea that I’ll get them started when I finish . . . [insert list of nearly finished stuff here].

But I like your idea of going at it a block at a time. I have been toying with trying to sew 15 minutes a day, cut up scraps and organize them 15 minutes a day, quilt (or practice free motion) 15 minutes a day or do hand work, quilting or embroidery 15 minutes a day. I’ll be using the timer on my phone a lot!

I’ve been thinking about this same thing, great minds think alike. So I’m jumping right in and I’m going to do this and blog about it too. And thanks for the button.

Oh my gosh, you’re ambitious! I’d love to play along, but I have far too many days where I don’t get home until 10pm – I suppose I could manage 7 blocks a week though. They’d just all get done on Saturday!

I’m in, although not with UFOs… With current projects that I want to complete this year. Not sure I have 350 blocks to do, but I can make some 4-patches to donate.

One a day isn’t so hard, particularly when “one” is sometimes just a four patch. I can do this. Thanks for the idea. I had been playing around with a block-a-day idea but had not thought to apply it to unfinished projects. Brilliant!

Thank you so much for my count down prize which arrived this morning. Both fabrics are new to me and friends have the book but I’ve never read it. It’s lunchtime here so I’m off to put my feet up and have a browse.

I am not sure I could commit to this, I always have good intentions but then fall short. Going to think on this though, it is a great idea!
