List for Q2 Finish-Along

Hello and welcome

To friends I have told about my blog and those who have found it and my daughter who wanted to put it on her facebook page.

I am very pleased with my finish for Q1 and want to do more off my list this quarter especially as I am starting to make a list of quilts I want to make when I have done them.

1,  Owl Quilt to quilt and bind.

2.  I have added this new project to my list because I want to make two bags from Adrianne's tutorial. I think they will make lovely presents.

3.  I am slowly working on this one.  The hexagons are hand-stitched and I do them while watching television.  It is a baby quilt with rows of white between the strips.

4.  This log cabin quilt is already to be quilted.  I am looking forward to doing this and getting it completed,.

5.  This cat quilt top is a very old unfinished quilt from about 1995.  The photo doesn't show it off very well but I will quilt it and get a better photo.  It has a lot of buttons sewn on it, I don't know why I did that before quilting, but I will have to take them off.  I will have to record where each one goes because they all look especially chosen.

Detail of one of the cats.

 6.  Baby's quilt top ready to be quilted.

7.  Another baby's quilt top ready to be quilted.  I enjoyed blanket stitching the hearts with variegated embroidery thread.

8,  I want to finish this quilt this year.  It is my oldest UFO.  I will have to plan to do a little each week alongside whatever project I am working on.

I have chosen a variety of quilts to finish so that I can pick and choose what I can work on.  My goal is two finishes this quarter.

I am going to link up with the adrianne's blog Q2 Finish-Along.

Enjoy creating,

Pamela

Finished Quilt

I am so pleased that I have been able to complete one of my Finish Along goals at www.onthewindyside.co.nz with Adrianne.

This small baby's quilt (Tumbling Blocks) was number 2 on my list,  I wanted to start small and practise my machine quilting.  I am very pleased with how it turned out.  I am especially pleased with the back.  I pieced it in a modern design because I can't wait to finish my ufo's and start on other quilts.

This quilt has been on the go for a long time; worked on and then put away; paper pieced and made out of scraps.  Some of the scraps were given to me by my great great aunt who started patchwork back in the 1970's when visiting America.  She is now 101 years old.

The quilt measures 30 inches x 36 inches and the top was already to be sandwiched and machine quilted.

I am really looking to Q2 and finishing some more off my list.
