Okay, so I'm machine quilting my September UFO (not reading the new crumb posting, nor am I digging around in the crumb box!) I did my usual walking foot grid of the block seam lines and now I'm free motioning around the circles.I think that might be all the quilting I do in the centre, and maybe just some quick stippling in the border. I'm not feeling the love for this quilt and think it might be a donation quilt unless a family member falls in love with it...unlikely!

the public commitment really is a motivator-I agree! Even if that quilt is donated, it still feels so good to have a finish. good job!
Putting a goal out there on your blog is a great accountability tool. Makes me glad that I didn't join a UFO challenge this year. I did last year though and was so happy to cross all those project off the list. Maybe every other year is enough?
I don't join anything that requires deadlines. I feel like I would constantly be frustrated when I couldn't meet them. : ) Too many demands in life right now over which I have no control, so I just can't set myself up for failure. But I enjoy seeing what everyone else is doing and how committed they are to the goals. Admirable!
Nothing like public accountablility to keep a person motivated! I looked at the quilt top and it does look like a carnival - lots of fun and lots going on. I think it looks great - someone is sure to cherish it!
Good for you for staying focused!! It is hard to work on a project you don't love.
One of my main reasons for starting a blog was just what has been mentioned several times here -- the accountability. It's a bit of a push that keeps me going.
Even though you may not like that quilt, you'll find someone who will.
