Getting It Done--January report, February goals

I am finding that Judy's Getting It Done challenge is helping keep me more focused on reaching the goals I had set for myself at the beginning of the month.  It must be something about writing it all down and sharing that list of goals in public.  It's easy to think "Oh, I should finish up this or that project this month," then get distracted by so many other things, whether they are new projects or everyday life.

Here is the list that I posted for January 2013 with notes on how I did with these goals.  I completed two of my goals and made good progress on the other two. 

1.  Assemble Easy Street quilt top--I got the center of the quilt together in early January but need to figure out what to do for the border.

2.  Finish binding Hidden Nine-patch quilt--binding is machine stitched to quilt; need to trim edges, then finish by hand.  I have been working on this but am not finished yet.

3.  Make at least two more blocks for red, white & blue Scrap Club Sampler.  DONE--two star blocks finished, 4 pineapple blocks started.

4.  Make blocks for new Scrappy Sampler BOM.   DONE! 

Other projects I worked on in January:

1.  Dancing Stars Quilt-Along--made 10 blocks

2.  Shirt for husband (Christmas gift)--added pocket that had been forgotten.

3.  Vest project--patterned and constructed a vest for a theater production.

FEBRUARY GOALS:
1.  Dancing Stars--make 8-10 blocks in this month's color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
2.  Scrappy Sampler BOM--make this month's set of blocks.
3.  Red, white & blue Scrap Club Sampler--finish 4 pineapple blocks.
4.  Hidden Nine-patch quilt--finish binding and add hanging sleeve.
5.  Storm at Sea--hanging sleeve.
6.  Alter shirt I bought at Christmas.
