2018 Finish-A-Long ~ 2nd Quarter Results

Here are my results for the Second Quarter:


1 - C'est La Vie.  I used this pattern by Lella Boutique (from Fat Quarter Shop's November Sew Sampler Box) for a Christmas Mini.  I've been wanting to make this into a lap-size quilt ~ just like the pattern shows.  I'm going to use charm packs of Olive's Flower Garden (just because I LOVE these fabrics!).  PROGRESS:  I have 4 blocks completed so far (forgot to take a photo and I'm on vacation), but I'm hoping for a 3rd quarter finish!  

2 - Eldon Quilt by Edyta Sitar.  I attended a workshop for this pattern almost 2 years ago.  PROGRESS:  I've finished the quilt top and I'm about 3/4 finished with the quilting.

1st background section quilted!

3 - Star Light Star Bright.  I'm adding an oldie-but-goodie to the list ~ it's really been sitting around way too long.  NO PROGRESS.

So no finishes this quarter, but at least I've made some progress!  We're out of town for a month, so I'll just use that as an excuse.  And I'm actually working on two block of the month projects as well, but I probably won't add those until the last quarter.

Eldon ~ The Flimsy

So happy to say that the Eldon quilt top is finished!  I took a class for this quilt two years ago and it just sat in its project box until I decided to put it on my Finish-A-Long list this year.  I'm SO happy I decided to get back to work on it!

I guess I was always a little intimidated by all those y-seams, but I cut out all the pieces, did all the rounds of the log cabins, strip-pieced and cut those into diamonds ~ then just took my time with the background diamonds.  And I actually loved the process ~ especially when it all started coming together!

Now ~ how do I quilt it?  That's the question!
