15 in 2015

In October and November managed to get 5 long-standing projects to the finished top stage. Some quilters call them “flimsies” but I don’t like using that word to describe something as wonderful as a finished quilt top. (Just my opinion.) I had set a goal to finish 5 projects before year end, but I should be able to finish up 3 more before the end of the next week — potentially 8 finishes. Granted they are machine pieced and were in various stages of being completed, but I am feeling quite proud of my accomplishment especially since I hadn’t done much quilting in the 12 proceeding months.

Perhaps I am a bit overconfident — inspired by my recent finishes — but I’m setting a goal to finish 15 projects in 2015. Here’s the list in no particular order:

1. Priscilla’s Beauty – hand pieced blocks with applique
2. Case of the Secret Garden – hand pieced blocks
3. Crazy Quilt block – Alaskan cruise class project
4. Transfer Artist Paper (TAP) – old class sample
5. Patchwork of the Crosses (POTC) – hand pieced
6. Hexiflowers – hand pieced
7. Rachelle – hand pieced blocks
8. Colonial Garden
9. Patriots in Petticoats – machine pieced
10. Sun, Moon & Stars – appliqued blocks machine pieced
11. 9 Patch Leader/Ender with Heart – machine pieced with applique
12. Thea’s Baby Quilt – machine pieced
13. Ethan’s New Quilt – machine pieced [same as Thea’s with different backing and binding]
14. Scrappy Log Cabin – machine pieced
15. Scrap Baskets – machine pieced / appliqued handles & hearts

While I was working on this post, Linda posted a photo to the Inklingo Facebook page. Yes! That’s the look I want to see 15 times this year.  (hahaha)
