UFO Challenge 2011-Piecing projects

I already posted all my Quilting UFO's for 2011 but since I tend to work on a lot of piecing I wanted to include a post for that. I am not saying I'll finish all these projects, but I can at least work toward that goal...Right?

My piecing UFO's for this year include:

#1 QOV pattern of Judy Laquidara's. I did all this in a couple days then got stopped. I really want to complete this and send it to QOV supporter Alicia.
#2 is the Christmas string quilt I started last year. I designed the layout of this quilt and I would like to finish it to be on our bed this 2011 Christmas! We will see!

#3 is a hand pieced DWR quilt I started years ago for my mom. These were the colors TO A TEE of her bedroom. I lost steam on it when she told me in no uncertain terms that she "hates quilts" I told her not to worry I wouldn't make her a quilt. And I won't. I had so much time into this that I wasn't going to scrap it completely, but it kind of took the pleasure out of this project, as you might imagine. I will finish it someday....sigh.
#4 is a cool 4 patch posie that a friend cut all the pieces for and gave them to me. I put all the little 4 patches together, but it still needs sashings and to be assembled.
#5 Another 4 patch posie cut from a favorite old fabric of mine (you may recognize it) I made a quilt for my dad out of this fabric years ago and I loved it so much I bought a whole bolt of it....which I still have on the bolt...what was I thinking? Anyway, these blocks are a bit too matchy-matchy for my taste but I will attempt to sash and assemble them. Good for a dog quilt if nothing more....
#6 A cute baby quilt that I had mostly pieced but had to take a row or two apart because they were crooked. I would like to finish it.
#7 A springtime YBR quilt. The blocks are all pieced (this picture is just when they were strips) but it needs to be laid out and assembled and finished.
#8 This is a rainbow quilt (or it will be) My little sewing group and I traded fabrics in all the colors a couple years ago. I got as far as sewing all the HST and that is it. Still a lot of work to get this to be a rainbow quilt.
#9 This is a Castle blocks quilt I have all cut out and partially pieced. I made one of these already but when I cut the strips for this, I cut WAAYY too many so decided I would make two of these. This is the second in the box. The first is a well loved quilt we use in our frontroom.
#10, 11 and 12- A quilt I started for my daughter. This is a tuxedo cat quilt. It is the front cover quilt from a Pam Bono pattern from this book that I started quite a few years ago. It is a ton of piecing. (quick rotary cut piecing my FOOT!)
I am giving myself lots of time for this one....

I agree with you on the Pam Bono quilts. They are beautiful, but in no way are they quick. Good luck with your projects.
