So, the Finish-A-Long is where you write down what quilts you want to finish in the next 3 months and for each project that you finish, you get an entry to win prizes from sponsors. Goodness knows I have a million work in progress quilts and could use a little motivation to get them done.
The first quilt on my list is the Sunshine Quirky Scrap Quilt (tutorial here). I finished piecing it last week (yea!) and hope to get it basted, quilted and bound in the next week or two. I have already pieced the backing so hopefully I can get it basted tomorrow.
I will also be basting this scrappy quilt made with Denyse Schmidt fabrics - with a few Cotton and Steel thrown in. It has been waiting to be basted for at least 6 months, if not 8. Ugh.
I can't find the picture of the pieced top, but I also have this 16-patch ready to baste. (Looks like I am going to be doing a lot of quilting.)
This foundation paper pieced beauty has been basted for almost a year and I just need to quilt it. I have been paralyzed by the fear of ruining it, but I just need to bite the bullet and start quilting.
This is another quilt top that has been sitting around for awhile. I started it Nov. 2, 2016 while I waited and waited and waited for the US election results to come in. I put a pieced border on it which has some issues (thus why I haven't touched it in months) but I would like to finish it before Nov. 2017.
I also have these improv curve blocks from a bee that I would like to get pieced in time to enter into Quilt Con. I'd better get moving on that!
And I just ordered some Tilda Harvest fabric that I want to make into a star quilt for my bed. But now, looking at my earlier list of things to do, I don't know if that is really going to happen --- unless I put something else off longer. :) So many quilts, so little time!
What are you working on? Any ancient projects? (I didn't even bothered to post my oldest - it's not going to get done anytime soon.)
Wow, Leila, I like your sunshine scrappy quilt and the hourglass one that follows. I may have to follow suit. I have so little time and most of my "starts" consist of piles of fabric in my sewing room!
ReplyDeleteI have multiple quilts I'm afraid of ruining right now. That Denyse Schmidt one made my heart sing!
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome projects! Hope you have a really productive quarter!
ReplyDeleteBonne chance pour ce dernier trimestre ! Je travaille aussi sur des blocs improv curve mais je n'ai pas mis ce projet sur ma liste.
ReplyDeletePs : I don't know why but your comment on my blog post didn't arrive in my mailbox ... So I read it late ...
