Christmas preparations took precedence this month, so I have not completed many quilt projects.
I know life is not a race and it really doesn't matter if I finish any of the items on my list.
I finish what I am able, and the rest of the items will just be moved to the following month.
Because of my lack of accomplishment, I hesitate to start any new Quilt-Alongs in 2015.
Many of my UFO's were Quilt-Alongs started in years past.
I may start one or two if they look particularly intriguing.
In the mean time, let's see what I was able to get done this month.....
