Reviewing the Planning List

-

As the year winds up, I thought I'd take a look at my planning post from the beginning of the year, and see how I did.


Baby Quilt for Heather (Rail Fence stars?) - I finished this one (on time!) and it's been mailed off it's new owner

Sparklers - Not started

Abacus - In progress, five of ten rows pieced

Triple Barn Star - for Aunt Bev - changed patterns, and top is finished 

Aviatrix - no progress

Making Modern - Rainbow quilt - top is finished

Downton Abbey economy blocks quilt - no progress

Bitter Almond - all blocks pieced, deciding if I should size up to a bed-size

Lemon Pepper - not started

Shenandoah - needs binding only

Color Plus - not started

Happy Camper - not started

Chic Country - not started

Wonderland - needs binding only 

Percolate - not started

Prism Star - 3/4 of diamonds finished

Moda Love II - not started

Classic Meets Modern - top is mid-assembly

Angela Walters BOM - all blocks done, working on setting 

 
Others that got added to the list mid-year:

Church Dinner quilt - finished

Frond Quilt (commission) - finished 

Guild Mystery Quilt - piecing (as leader/ender)

FourSquare - piecing (as leader/ender) 

 Rows of Cats - finished

 Singing the Blues (Moda Bakeshop) - finished

 Band Camp (fundraiser) - finished

 Step Down (Moda Bakeshop) - finished

 Memory Quilt (commission) - needs binding

 Of those I added, four (including the bakeshop) were commissions, and two were fundraisers.  The mystery quilt was a guild thing, so that's why it's there, and the four-square was so I'd have a L/E project in the shop.  So really only the Rows of Cats jumped the queue completely...

I did finish up a couple of WIP's, and I have a couple that are STILL works in progress...

Pinwheel Charity Quilt - FINISHED!

-
Image
The amazing Jo at Jo's Country Junction  does a ton of wonderful work doing long-arm for charity quilts.  After my friend, Natalie, and I purchased our long-arm, we both wanted to help do charity work, so I reached out to Jo to see if she needed some assistance.  She sent along five quilt tops, along with backings and bindings, and Natalie and I got to work! This first finish is a wonderful, happy, bright pinwheel quilt, made by Sharon Judkins of Hatfield, Arkansas.   (And special thanks to my 11 year old for photographing - she's working on photography for her 4-H projects, and wanted to help out in her own way!) Natalie did the long-arm work on this one.  Each pinwheel got it's own spiral, and there are spirals in all the sashing and borders.  Natalie made sure to get a pinwheel in cornerstone, as well. It was bound in a lovely blue, with the ladies in our local quilt guild stepping up to do the actual binding work.  This one will ...

Kate Spain Charm Swap Finish!

Quite a while ago, I participated in a Kate Spain Charm Swap over at Quilts from my Crayon Box .  I just loved the assortment I got back!  So colorful and bright, and so cheery to just have in a stack and pet.  But I decided to actually use them all.  I wanted a pattern that would really show off the variety of fabrics, and this one from Moda Bake Shop seemed to be a great fit.  I enlarged it to use up all the charms.  It's almost a complete charm quilt - I had to add in just a few duplicates to make enough squares.  I absolutely love the final result! The fabrics have such great variety I didn't really have to consciously do any fabric placement - they all looked good together! I used one of my favorites from terrain for the cornerstones and binding.  The quilter did a great job - outlined the stars and added a small flower to the center of each, with a moderately tight stipple throughout the rest.  I...

Scrappy Rainbows

This quilt has had many names.  Officially, it's the Trip Around the World pattern, from Bonnie Hunter.  I started it quite a while ago, and it became my "just 10 more minutes" quilt, because if I'd wrapped something up but didn't quite feel like I was done sewing, I'd pull out the strips and sew a block before heading to bed. When it started coming together, I could never really decide if I liked it, or if it looked like a rainbow had thrown up on my design wall.  I finally decided it was a little bit of both.  I played around with a number of layouts.  I'd kept a black diagonal line through all of the squares, for some consistency, so it did give me a lot of options.  I think this one is staying with me, largely as a utility quilt.  It's made out of fat quarters of less-than-stellar fabric, so not one I'd like to sell or give away, but it should hide stains and dirt well, with the black backing and binding, so a good one for picnics a...
