Welcome to my stop on the My Stitching Resolutions blog hop hosted by Carla of Creatin’ in the Sticks. I have lots of unfinished projects. I certainly need to work on finishing them. But, my resolution for 2021 is more specific and doable. I have a number of projects that are almost finished – they are quilted but need just a binding or facing. My stitching resolution for 2021 is to sew on a binding/facing for one of my “almost finished” project each month. The rest of this post lists some of my projects that need just a few hours of work to be totally finished!
Twinkling – I made this for the the Winter Blues blog hop in January 2020. It will go to a friend who had a birthday in December. I hope to finish it soon and gift it to her. The binding is cut and ready to go.
Hopscotch Tiles – I finished this in June of 2019. This is also a gift, but due to Covid and travel restrictions, I haven’t met the recipient this year. Hence the procrastination on the binding. Again, the binding for this quilt is cut and ready.
Purple Mountain Majesty – Completed in August 2019. It needs a hanging sleeve. This will hang in our bedroom in the wall space meant for a big TV. We don’t watch much TV and certainly not in the bedroom. This quilt will remind us of all our hiking trips.
Centered goes minimal is from a QAL by Sandra Walker of mmm! Quilts. I had machine trouble when I finished this. It needs binding. I was debating whether to use a single binding or match the binding to the grey and white outer sections.
Buzzing Geese is from August 2020. Needs a binding. This is too big for a wall quilt. There have been several pattern requests for this quilt. I am working on it. I need to finish writing and send it to a few testers.
Winding River is from February 2020. It needs some more quilting in the purple and blue sections. I need to finish that and the binding. I have pattern requests for this as well. I need to finish up the pattern and send it to testers.
Circular is from May 2019. I am not happy with the quilting in some areas. I need to pick out the stitches and redo them. This is why I’m putting off working on this. This will make a striking wall quilt when all the issues are fixed.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Please visit all the other blogs on this blog hop and see what they plan to do differently in 2021.

I love all the quilts and hope that you get the bindings done to keep your Resolutions. Finishing quilts is sometimes the hardest part and I also think it is because we have enjoyed the making and don’t want to end it!!!! Have a wonderful 2021. Hugs & Love, Susie xx
Lovely quilts, and attaching the binding is the final step before they got finished, such a reward! Too years ago I learnt how to bind a quilt entirely by machine, a great technique.
Beautiful quilts! Hope you can keep your resolution and get them finished.
Unless a quilt is headed for show, I do all my bindings fully by machine (so much faster and stronger). Love them all but the circle quilt is fav.
Your quilts are stunning – so bright and cheerful. Looking forward to “Buzzing Geese”.
Oh my goodness, those are some beautiful quilts to finish…wow! I have a few quilts that just need binding and it’s so sad that they are waiting for me to finish them. I hope you can take the time to work on them because they are all incredible quilts. Happy New Year!
I only wish I had that many UFO’s just waiting for binding. I enjoy handsewing down the binding, so I don’t find it a chore. My problem is getting the quilting done, I don’t have a long-arm and can’t afford to quilt them all by check, so the flimsies have piled. I find that happens when a project didn’t have a deadline/purpose (ie gift or donation). When a squirrel runs by or a bright shiny object catches my eye, I put aside the tops and start something new. Bad habit, I need to work on.
Gorgeous quilts, I wish all my UFOs were just binding! Great goal, and good luck with your resolutions! Happy New Year!
Such a beautiful assortment of quilts. I have a stack of quilts like you that just need a few hours and they would be ready to go. This is a great idea, to list them and then it’s so much easier to mark them off the list. I need to do this. Thank you and Happy New Year!
What a wonderful collection of “almost dones”. Now that you have pulled them out and revisited them you are ever so much closer to getting them done. Best wishes in that regard.
You are going to have some gorgeous finishes this year.
Your quilts are lovely!!! I look forward to seeing each of them completely done!
Happpy Quilting! 🙂
Such beautiful quilts and so close to being finished. Good luck.
You have some fabulous quilts. Great goals to get them completed!
Your quilts are beautiful. Happy New Year.
Those are some beautiful quilts. Good luck finishing them.
Beautiful quilts! You’re doing better than I do; at least your unfinished projects are quilted. Happy stitching in 2021.
I love all of your almost finished quilts. The Circular is my favorite.
Wowziers…have you made some fabulous quilts this year. I’m one of those crazy people, who absolutely love to sit down and hand stitch binding. LOL!! I will send some good binding ju-ju your way! LOL!! Happy New Year.
Way to go on narrowing down your goal. Best of luck on finishing these languishing tasks!
Such beautiful quilts and a great resolution to tidy up those loose ends! Happy new year, Vashudha and so glad we met in person in February – seems like a million years ago.
Love your quilt show! Your list is doable and we will be cheering you on. I’m still in love with Winding River 😉 Carol
🥳
That’s a great goal, and you are sure to accomplish it! Love the winter blues quilt!
You are using those goals well for 2021. You’ve got this, girl.
Finished quilts are so nice! Here’s to meeting your goals and getting them totally completed in 2021!
