Prioritization

-
In looking at my WIP list, I did manage to get quite a few things finished over vacation, but I also want to get a grip on what is still in progress, and get those prioritized and finished.

Deadline items - 
1. The mini for Jen (likely Mini Chic)
2. Swap mini (not yet started, fundraiser for Aussie wildlife)

Long delayed gifts (next priority)
1. Moda Love for Barb - just need to add borders
2. Hexology - gift for my goddaughter

Charity items for 2020
1. Mantle runner x2 - for church, October deadline
2. SNICU quilt (as yet to be determined which one - maybe Four Patch?)
3. Julie's T-Shirt quilt 

Long-Time WIP's
1. Moda Building Blocks (just need to get the courage up!)
2. Prism Star - need to trim square, maybe size up??

What other priorities??
I want to use up fabric, so probably some large scale blocks to finish up quickly for charity.  The large star FQ quilt I have kitted up, for example.  Maybe more than one of those?  I have a ton of FQ's to use up.  Background fabric is actually the hold-up on those.  

Percolate is neat but is turning out to be a major PITA.  Not hard, just time-consuming and SLOW. Something to finish one block at a time as I've got 10 minutes here and there.

Get Patchwork Sky finished - it's almost done, just need to regroup on what I actually NEED, I'm not sure where I am on number of squares.  I really should write that down!

I'll probably throw A New View onto the longarm.  Going to do an all-over design for that, so it should go quickly.  And I need to get Rhombus dance off of the design wall, but no rush to quilt that one. 

Doing this helps, though.  Will keep working on the minis and get Rhombus Dance pieced, but Moda Love is the next priority for completion.

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...
