Planless

I think I've decided on a quilting plan for the new year, and that is this:

 I'm not going to make a plan.

Yes, there are a few quilts I totally want to finish, and I'll list those in my 2017 Q1 FAL list. And yes, there are some 'maybe' projects on my ongoing OneNote app list, but they are truly maybes. What I really have in mind for this year is to take it as it comes. To leave plenty of time to sew on a whim, and see where it takes me.

I have a few commitments I'll keep over from last year, but they are ones that I know feed me in the way I need to be fed:
Other than that, let's see what happens. And maybe you'd call that a plan. But a minimal one at that.

    I love it. Or, as I tell my friends, "I plan to be spontaneous." Hope your plan for 2017 is filled with unexpected delights.

    I love it. This is my plan as well. I thought about posting a long post about what I want to accomplish this year but I didn't. I know what I'd like to get done and I will or I won't. I'm not going to beat myself up.

    Sometimes no plan is the best plan! That keeps your mind fresh and pressure off! Good plan that is!

    Instead of a plan, it's an approach. Or an attitude. Good luck, and have fun!

    I love your plan! I decided to keep my plans/goals pretty vague this year as well - other than sewing my stash and using up my scraps, I plan to take projects as they come. Here's to a relaxed and fun 2017!!

    I love the phrase sewing on a whim! I think this free format, go with the flow for those who sew for pleasure is definitely my preferred way.

    Good for you! I too have many quilts I want to make, but I will take it all one step/stitch at a time :)! Happy New Year, Debbie!

    Regardless of what I "plan" things have a way of just taking it as it comes. :D

    The last year or so I've completely enjoyed being plan-less. So much less stressful and allows me to work on what's important to me at that time in life. Hope you enjoy your year :o)

    I like this plan! Given the opportunity I would much rather make something when I 'feel' it! I nevder really follow a scheduled plan anyway!

    This kind of plan leaves one open to all kinds of interesting possibilities. I love it.

    Sounds great, although when I do that I always end up with more WIPs and UFOs, so I have a loose plan. It does sound like stress free sewing though.
