I have taken our Guild's PHD challenge. PHD stands for Projects Half Done. I am ashamed to say that I have many of them in my sewing room. This challenge is a way of completing some of these projects. I have picked 4 to work on over the next few months. They have to be completed by the end of May, and must be quilted, have the binding attached and a label if the project is a quilt. Smaller projects like pillows and wall hangings don't need a label. If I cannot finish any one of them, I will have to pay $5.00 to the woman's shelter our guild supports. That\s a win/win situation. Don't you agree? Even if I can't finish the projects, the women's shelter will still benefit.
So here are the projects I have chosen to finish.
First is the Super Heroes quilt I started to make for my son last year. I wanted him to use it on his bed, but he wanted to hang it on a wall. I lost all interest in finishing it when I learned that. But he recently purchased a brand new house. It is still being built as I write this. By Christmas it should be finished so that he can move in. I want to finish this quilt for Christmas. There is not too much left to do. It is very large, so I will send it out to be quilted.
My second PHD project is the Maple Leaf quilt I started last year. I still have a lot to do on this one, but I really like it and I want to get it done.
This is my third project. It is a Trip Around the World that I started several years ago. I really love this quilt, but I guess I got tired of making the strata for this one. This one will also be sent out for quilting when it is finished. I think it will be a Queen size quilt.
The fourth project is a cross quilt that I started at least 3 or 4 years ago. It used a lot of fabric that other quilters gave me. I have no idea how big I will make this one. I only know that I want to get it done.
I signed these quilts up for the PHG challenge last night at our last Guild meeting for this year. I was kind of distracted and I totally forgot about William's Jungle Quilt that I have been working on lately. Since DD has been staying at my house, I have not had much time to finish this one. But it has to go into William's room when they go home. And that will probably be soon. So I am, unofficially, adding this one to my PHD list too. I am going to love working to finish this one.
Wish me luck. I think I am going to need it!

Thinking about finishing projects (Procrastination) takes more time than the actual finishing most of the time. I have a bunch that I should put on a list too. Good luck and I think you will breeze through this batch.
That's quite a lot of work. I hope you make it. I'd love to see William's quilt finished.
We have a similar challenge at my guild; but, we have to have the first one in at the January meeting and I won't be back until mid February. Sigh...
A great challenge! I love all of your UFO choices, esp. the maple leaf quilt. Good luck reaching your goal, but if you don't quite make it, it's a win-win situation!!
Such a sweet lion.
What a nice way to get some projects done. I love the maple leaf the best but that is just me. Hetty, do you think I will ever finish my PHDs. I am just not motivated these days. Maybe yes, maybe no. We'll see.
