Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing my 2025 Year in Review + 2026 Goals and Organizing Tips for Quilters. I have a video to share with this post and a free printable to help you get started and stay on track with the sewing and quilting you want to accomplish this year. Let’s make it a wonderful year of quilting and sewing!
2025 Year in Review + 2026 Goals & Organizing Tips for Quilters
2025 Year in Review
Last year I set some pretty lofty goals for myself. Needless to say, I didn’t achieve all of them! I was super happy to have finished one of my longest work-in-progress quilts, my Village quilt with fabrics from all of our collections through our Delightfully Yours group. I sewed a couple of dozen quilts–large and small

My 2026 Goals and Priorities (Sewing & Quilting)
- Make a king-sized bed quilt using our Christmas fabrics
- Finish my Moda Blockheads 6 quilt
- Finish my Honeybun Sampler Scrappy Quilt
- Choose another work in progress to start after the Honeybun Sampler
- Bags
- Sewing Room Organizing: Lists for where everything is stored.

Thank you Sherri for the printable and the tips. I am a fellow planner and love hearing how others organize and plan. I enjoy planning and organizing almost as much as sewing. 😆
Happy New Year!🎊

I would love to see you make a quilt with scraps that is not a planned scrappy quilt. One where you use all kinds of prints that are not from the same collection and not even from just your left over prints that tend to go together. So many quilters make a lot of scrappy quilts, but they plan it out and all the fabrics tend to be from lines that will work together. I love to make really scrappy quilts with all kinds of fabrics from my leftovers. I don’t worry about if they are from the same line or if the fabrics match. I think those quilts are some of my favorites, but I haven’t seen anything but crumb quilts that do this. It would be nice to see something other than a crumb quilt with all kinds of different fabrics from all different designers that weren’t part of a specific line.

I am also planning to make a quilt for a king size bed so I would be interested to see what pattern you choose and how to convert a pattern written for lap size to a king. Maybe you could do a video series when you do yours 😊 Happy new year and thank you and your family for all that you do!

Hi Sherri! I always look forward to your blog posts—your ideas are amazing. One of my favorite types of content you share is sewing from scraps and stash. Similar to something another commenter wrote above, I was wondering if you might consider a blog post on how to pull colors together when sewing from an existing stash. How do you decide what works well together when combining fabrics from lots of different designers and collections?
I’ve got quite a few leftover fat eighths and fat quarters from bundles I used years ago, and I’d love to work them into larger quilts. I want to use what I already have before buying more, but I also want the colors to feel intentional rather than random. I’d love any guidance you might have!
