The Marathon starts tomorrow!
Here is an Excel Sheet for you to track your hours: Hmm, I can’t seem to embed the excel sheet … If you want one that will add your hours up, email me & I’ll email the sheet to you

Here are the quilts I plan to finish: 2 strippy quilts (only 1 picture) and 3 star quilts.
- Both strippy quilts need borders, sandwiching, quilting and binding
- The first star quilt needs to be webbed, borders, sandwiching, quilting and binding
- The 2nd star quilt needs the backing enlarged, sandwiching, quilting and binding
- The 3rd quilt is webbed and needs to be sewn together, borders, sandwiching, quilting and binding

Piecing

I have started piecing my August Island Batik project … and of course, I can’t show you until the actual blog hop. Sorry … I know you hate secrets!
Quilting

A few weeks ago, I showed you the border of a commissioned quilt. I’m now quilting the said border. And then it needs a label and binding and then it will be finished.

Link up if you want to show us your plans for the marathon. I will try to have a link-up at the half-way mark and at the finish line.
If you don’t have a blog, you can always link to an Instagram post or a Pinterest picture.

Great goals! So far, I haven’t worked on a baby quilt, but it’s my monthly goal to work on two!

Hi!
Goals really help me to focus … otherwise it’s a little of this and a little of that …
Good luck working on your 2 baby quilts (or is that just 2 quilts?)
Happy Quilting! π

I’ll be working on my RWB island Batik project and maybe my August project too! 2 days on the road won’t help, but those will be days working on the design so I can cut when I return!

I posted the marathon on my blog this morning and didn’t realize that tomorrow is actually the 1st!!! I am glad I already have some projects ready to go! Mine are not UFOs so I will be starting from scratch but I have everything I need to get going. It will be interesting to see what 26 hours can produce.

Hi Pamela,
Whoo Hoo!!!
It’s good to be ready! I have no idea what I can get done in 26 hours … I guess we’ll all find out by tracking out time!
And thank you for mentioning the marathon on your blog!
Happy Marathoning / Quilting! π

Good luck with your baby quilts! That would be a huge jump forward on the stash usage and UFO finishes.

Hi Donna,
Thank you! It will certainly help a little with stash usage (not all fabric is from my stash)! And, I will (hopefully) accomplish 3 UFO finishes and finish 2 new stars. Whoo Hoo … if I get them done.
Happy Quilting! π
