Entering the 2nd Quarter UPDATE

OK, I've been doing well, getting a number of quilts done.  Into three different "Keep on task" groups to help me get the work done.  I was feeling overwhelmed, but I'm back on track.  So I decided to enter this quarter's goal settings.  Here's the picture and an explanation of each one. 0 - My row by row - water -  I have 58 (yes I know crazy) so I want to get at least 27 done to make one of the quilts.  I have 27 rows from Washington and from Arizona, and I want it done before this madness (extremely fun) projects starts again this year. 1 - A quilt for a very good friend of mine - tea time.  Have 2 rows to go, then quilting.  Plan on getting this one done by the end of this month. 2 - tulips paper piecing.  Small project but great for this spring time. 3 - My modern quilt as you go.  Been working on it for a month.  Will be done by the end of April.   DONE . 4 - A panel wall hanging that I've had since last summer.  Got the material, want
