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.
- Finish 1 – Plaid Streak
- Finish 2 – Floral Streak
- Finsih 3 – Can’t remember pattern name–I call it the ugly Christmas quilt
- Finish 4 & 5 – Leftovers Again and Leftovers Again & Again
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:
- Priscilla’s Beauty – hand pieced blocks with applique
- Case of the Secret Garden – hand pieced blocks
- Crazy Quilt block – Alaskan cruise class project
- Transfer Artist Paper (TAP) – old class sample
- Patchwork of the Crosses (POTC) – hand pieced
- Hexiflowers – hand pieced
- Rachelle – hand pieced blocks
- Colonial Garden
- Patriots in Petticoats – machine pieced
- Sun, Moon & Stars – appliqued blocks machine pieced
- 9 Patch Leader/Ender with Heart – machine pieced with applique
- Thea’s Baby Quilt – machine pieced
- Ethan’s New Quilt – machine pieced [same as Thea’s with different backing and binding]
- Scrappy Log Cabin – machine pieced
- 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)
I'd love to hear from you!
