Quilt Project Planner 2020

New Look

For 2020, I've decided to refresh my blog page with a new look,  set aside a few additional projects to my already big pile of old ones, and start a journal that will combine my Chrisitan journey through my love for quilting. I've kept a record of my achievement throughout the year by posting it on my blog. For a while, I also wanted to write a journal that would explain why I'm making that particular quilt and what challenge I came across with it. I will only write about the quilt I designed, not those that have already a designer or pattern. My desire is to slow down the process of my quilting and enjoy each aspect of its development.
 

Quilting Planner 2020

Make is simple. I've started a binder in 2017 which worked great for me for keeping track of all my projects.  I've reused the same binder by updating the label on the front cover and removed pages of a project that was completed last year. The project-in-progress is still in the binder. in previous years, I've also used a small spiral notebook for my weekly planning and note-taking. My blog was the journal entries of my progress throughout the year which I also share on Facebook, which I will continue doing so this year. It really keeps me on my toes.

Due Date Sheet

My blue quilting journal will be for record-keeping.  I purchased a bundle of three for $13  at Costco. Make a list of all the projects you're planning to complete for 2020 on a document, so that way you can reuse it later or updated it next year.  It's always nice to have a sheet of paper in your binder as a reference. I've also separated my binder into four sections; each one for its own pattern and goals.
