2017 Finish-A-Long: 1st Quarter Results

Well, that was a quick three months!  Here are my results of my list for the 1st quarter:

1 - Interlocking Chains from the book New Ways with Jelly Rolls: 12 Reversible Modern Jelly Roll Quilts by Pat and Nicky Lintott.  FINISHED!  Blogged here.

2 - Rail Fence.  This is going to be a comfy quilt for the Naples Quilters Guild using this tutorial.  I'd like to have this one finished by the end of January.   FINISHED!  Blogged here.

3 - Facets from the book Machine Quilting With Style by Christa Watson.   The background and the solid diamonds are cut out ~ but I'm still working on the improv fabric for the rest of the diamonds (it's harder than I thought!).  Hoping to finish next quarter.

4 - Christmas Mini - C'est La Vie.  FINISHED!  Blogged here.

So 3 finishes out of a list of 4 projects ~ I'm happy with that!

2017 Finish-A-Long - Third Finish: Interlocking Chains

This has been a good quarter so far for the 2017 Finish-A-Long ~ I don't often finish three projects.  This latest one is one of my favorites, because it's going to my grandson who will be coming home soon from being stationed in Okinawa.

This is Interlocking Chains from the book New Ways with Jelly Rolls: 12 Reversible Modern Jelly Roll Quilts by Pat and Nicky Lintott.  (The same book my Log Cabin Sparkles quilt came from.)

My grandson is a big Detroit Red Wings fan, so I made sure there were some Red Wings fabrics in this quilt.  

I love the fabric I used for the binding!

I kept my quilting simple ~ just two cross-hatched lines crossing through each of the links in the chains.

I hope he likes it!  My biggest concern is that one of the lighter fabrics looks kind of pink from far away ~ but I'm trying to ignore that.  :)
