WIP it Wednesday - Week 3

Whew, the week has FLOWN!  I feel like I got a lot done, but not as much from my list as I would like, lol.  Again these posts will be long term helpful I think, it helps bring back my focus.  I am very much a 'oh look, squirrel!' kinda artist.

Well,  last weeks list was as follows;

• Completed 368 Project.  Last block created on 6/25/2014.  Made 5 blocks this week!
  
• Completed Monthly swap of 5 blocks per month.  Blocks are all completed, just need to finish signature blocks and send off June's swaps.  I actually have the sig blocks done, just need to get in the mail.  I also got July's out!
• Not Completed Blocks for the next swap. I have 50 Cathedral Windows to make and 48 1/2 square 5 patches.  I would like to do a handful a week.  The swap starts at the beginning of the year, I think, but I prefer to have the blocks ready before it starts.
• Not Completed Commissioned quilt.  Sew a minimum of 1 row per day.  33 rows to go.
• Not Completed Commissioned quilt - design applique tree.  I finally have an idea I like, but as it will be several feet tall and wide, I will need to draw out a template.  It will be a solid day or 2 with rolls of brown paper taped to the wall and a pencil.  I am actually aiming to do this 4th of July weekend.
• Completed and Not Completed QAYG project from this blog, Span the Distance in Stitches.  I need to finish compiling the May and June packages for M.  I got a LOVELY box of goodies from M and would like to get 1 block per week done so by end of June we are both caught up.  Part of the fun was roving.  What would you do with roving in a quilt block?  I did finish April's block and am really happy with it, now to work on pounding flowers!
  
• Not Completed Play Time quilt.  I have 1/2 done of this paint chip color challenge.  I want this for my couch, so while i am not rushing, I want it done.  My goal for now is to make 2-3 blocks a week.  15 blocks to go! This may go in the UFO drawer.
• Not Completed I am in the design stage of a baby quilt that must be completed by July 26th.  I am kinda leaning towards circles.  Want to get the fabrics picked out of my stash this weekend.  I need a few more fabrics, and may get those this weekend.
• Completed Mail challenge art quilt to quilting arts.  Has to be mailed this week.
  

SO!  Started with 9 WIPs, and completed 3.5 of them.  Lets see whats there this week.

• I am in the design stage of a baby quilt that must be completed by July 26th.  I am kinda leaning towards circles.  Want to get the fabrics picked out of my stash this weekend.  I am leaning towards a simple 6 inch HST block set on a off center chevron design.  I am currently in love with spring colors combined with grey as the neutral, so this will be a good mix.

Which makes for 7 WIPs currently.  That's a good trend, reduction.  The funny thing is I completed a project this week that wasn't a WIP this time last week!  I will post a blog about it soon, but for now here is a picture.  Just loved it!
