Finish A-Long

     I need this challenge to push me to finish more.  So far this year I have finished the top 2 quilts on my UFO list.  #1 The blue, green and yellow quilt kit was purchased in 2005.  I did not finish it like the kit suggests but I love it. You can see more about the quilting I did on this post. 

#2 The green made-fabric quilt ended up as 2 quilts- one full size and one adult lap.  I have entered the full size in a guild show and then it will be a wedding present. You can see more about them here.  

     To work on next I have pulled #3

(The top has been waiting 5 years to be quilted when my FMQ skills were better and they are ) and # 5 which needs borders.   

Hope you are making progress on your projects.

Quilting Plan for 2017

    My quilting plan for 2017 has been formed and is in progress.  I have prioritized 6 UFOs for the new year ( 3 are complete tops ).  I hope to start the year by quilting the 3 and get them finished.  

    The quilting for my Blue, Yellow, Green sampler is in progress.  I started by ditch quilting.  Then I paused to plan a custom design for each sampler block.  Here are sketches of the plans.   

First I found the block in EQ or drew it.  I printed the block outline and planned a continuous line motif that I liked.   Quilting continues.

Make some time for sewing and quilting.
