Quilt update

Ok. Time to update my quilts in progress list. I have NOT been finishing stuff recently, just starting new ones.

New resolution. I cannot start a new one until I finish one or more (how about two??) first.

I need to recheck all my stuff and see if there are any more projects hidden away.

Got a new box of fabric from Mom that was Aunt Margaret's last week. O BOY!

Quilts in active progress

  1. Scrappy rail fence stars - 2 blocks done - leader/ender project
  2. Table topper kit from my quilt group secret sister - center is complete need the outer row sewn and added to main.
  3. Eli's Christmas Quilt - "A Christmas Quilt for a Christmas Boy" - very close. Just about 5 blocks need more free-form quilting. Add a label to the back.
  4. Orphan turned Wall hanging - Need to add more quilting with my metallic threads.  Need to add hanging sleeve.
  5. All Hallows QAYG quilt - 4 of 12 blocks done. Backing will be black and white with black and red (love fabric) to join. Should I make more squares and make this queen size? Maybe. I'm stuck on this one. The half-square triangles are not all the same size. I need to reqroup on this one.
  6. Star Quilt #2 - All 32 blocks done and joined in 4 sections. Center needs more free-form quilting. Ready to quilt the four sections and finished the d*mn thing.
  7. Wine Placemat #2 - One finished and given away. One mostly quilted until the Janome broke just before Thanksgiving. Now that it's back, I need to just finish it. 
  8. Woodsy wonders small #1 - All squares together for the woodsy part. Still doing the stars on the other side. Ready to join several of the rows. Already pinned several together. Really close to finished. 

Quilts being planned or haven't touched in months

  1. Animal ABC quilt - ready to quilt. Need to mark with stencils and pounce. Or should I just do different free-form patterns in each one? 
  2. Star Quilt #3 - 0 of 32 blocks needed. Center is sandwiched. Ready to quilt center
  3. Wine Placemats- Two pieced and need to be sandwiched.
  4. Flower hand quilt - Can I do this with the machine to finish? Pull out and look at it.
  5. 3 batik kits from my quilt group secret sister.

Quilts with the cleaner since the fire

  1. Dogwood Hand quilt - with the cleaner since the fire - so close! Haven't worked on it in years. Need to pull it out and just do it.
  2. Cross-stitch double bed quilt. Need to finish cleaning the back to clip threads. Backing fabric has been purchased as well as batting. Just need to do low-fat quilting.
