2019 Finish-A-Long: 2nd Quarter List


OK - 2nd Quarter.  I haven't added anything new to the last list ~ in fact, I've cut it down by one.  We're going to be moving across the country, so that'll take up a LOT of time!


I have 3 projects on my list for this quarter:


1 - 
Patchwork Barn Block of the Month by Edyta SitarI have the 72 6" blocks finished and I've finished the center block with the applique.  Next are the side panels (more applique) and the sashing (still trying to decide how I want to do that).  I'd love to be able to finish it next year at some point!



2 - 2018 Quilters Planner Sampler BOM.  I've finished 12 blocks in blue and red Christmas fabrics.  I've already run out of background fabric and can't find it anywhere, so the background is going to have to be a little scrappy.  :)


Good Fortune Mystery Quilt.  This is the first Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt I've ever done ~ and I LOVED putting it together!  Top is finished, and I hope to at least start the quilting once we find a house and get settled.  :)


Not too optimistic as far as finishes go this quarter ~ just hoping to make SOME progress.  Next time I link up we'll be in our new home!

Zipper Quilt ~ a Comfy Quilt

The Naples Quilters Guild that I belong to collects "Comfy Quilts" made and donated by its members and gives them to the Children's Advocacy Center for children placed there because of abuse situations.  I made this one using the Zipper quilt pattern demonstrated by Jenny Doan of the Missouri Quilt Star Co.

Quick and easy!  I made this using a charm pack of Kate Spain's "Daydream" collection and I loved the way it turned out!





Binding ready to be sewn on.

2019 Finish-A-Long - First Quarter Results


I had 5 projects on my list for this quarter:

1 - 
Star Light Star Bright.  FINISHED!  Blogged here.





2 - Patchwork Barn Block of the Month by Edyta SitarI have the 72 6" blocks finished and I've finished the center block with the applique.  Next are the side panels (more applique) and the sashing (still trying to decide how I want to do that).  I'd love to be able to finish it next year at some point!  NO PROGRESS.



3 - 2018 Quilters Planner Sampler BOM.  I've finished 12 blocks in blue and red Christmas fabrics.  I've already run out of background fabric and can't find it anywhere, so the background is going to have to be a little scrappy.  :)  NO PROGRESS.


4 - Coalition Bag - pattern by Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness.  My daughter asked me for the handbag size and I have the fabrics and all the parts but it's kind of a surprise, so I can't show everything here until it's gifted.  SOME PROGRESS, but i'm having issues.


5 - Good Fortune Mystery Quilt.  This is the first Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt I've ever done ~ so call me crazy for putting it on this list, but I have all the bits and pieces finished and I just need to finish putting it together!    :)    TOP IS FINISHED!



So one finish this quarter and progress on two others.  I'm not expecting much for the next quarter ~ we're getting ready to move across the country, so I may be a little busy.  :)
