2020 Finish-A-Long: 2nd Quarter Finish #2 ~ Frolic


Can I pinch myself now?  I finished another Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt!  I started this one in November 2019 and ~ again ~ I didn't have to buy any fabric, not even the backing.  

This quilt is a big bigger ~ it ended up about 85" x 85" ~ and now I finally have a quilt for my bed!  My hubby loves it and so do I.

This is where it was before all this Covid business:


All blocks are finished, but not trimmed:


This is the back before the quilt was basted:


Quilting in progress:



and this is the finish.  I Like It!  


Someone in my quilt group asked me how many pieces were in this quilt ~ so I went back to the pattern and counted:  3,628.  Whew!

So two finishes so far this quarter ~ I'm guessing that will be it, but I can live with that!

2020 Finish-A-Long: 2nd Quarter Finish - Good Fortune


I'm happy to say that I finally finished my first Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt!  Started in November 2018, it was definitely a challenge ~ both in the number of pieces that went into this, but I had never done a "scrappy" quilt before.    What a blast!  and I didn't have to buy any fabric ~ everything came out of my stash (except for the backing which I found at Hobby Lobby).  I'm so proud of myself!  LOL

  







Finish #1 for this 2nd Quarter.  I'm just waiting on some batting ~ my second Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt, "Frolic", is waiting patiently.  :)

2020 Finish-A-Long: 2nd Quarter List



Second Quarter already ~ hoping to finish at least 2 of these while we're stuck here in the house.  :(

1 - Patchwork Barn Block of the Month by Edyta SitarI have most of the quilt put together and I'm just starting on the applique for the side panels. 



2 - 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 it's basted, so all it's ready for some quilting!


3 - Twins' Onesies quilt.  I've been wanting to do a t-shirt quilt and decided it would be fun to make one out of my twin granddaughters' onesies.  Only two blocks finished so far, so I'm hoping to make some progress on this!


4 - Frolic Mystery Quilt.  The latest mystery by Bonnie Hunter.  I have the top finished and backing is almost ready.  Hoping I can finish it this quarter.


I posted this list on Instagram before the deadline, but I wanted to add it here as well.
