How many quilts can I make in one year?

So I am giving myself a challenge. I want to make at least 26 quilts in the next year...that means at least one every two weeks. I have been on a quilting kick lately and armed with the knowledge I got in my free motion quilting class last week, I wanted to make this challenge to myself. I've been really bad about posting lately and I'm hoping this new challenge will also help me be better at this whole blogging thing. To kick off my challenge I am working on a new quilt top today. I hope to have completed 26 new quilts between now and April 1st, 2014. I'll post pics as I make progress.

For starters...I'm pretty dang proud of this quilt top that I made last week for my husband. He's been wanting me to make it for him since last May and I finally got up the courage to give this "challenging" pattern a go. Looks pretty much like the picture in the magazine did.

I get so much joy out of seeing something that I made. If anyone out there is reading this, I hope my quilt challenge will bring you smiles and perhaps make you think of something that you enjoy that you can challenge yourself with.
