Finish Along - Quarter 4 Goal Post

It's that time - if you're participating, don't forget to make a Fourth Quarter "goal" sheet. The 2015 quarterly Finish-Along is hosted by Adrianne over at "On the Windy Side."

Quarter 3 went great for me in terms of finishes. I can only share half of them with you, though. A month from now you'll get all kinds of finish reports - like 7 to 9 of them!  ;D

Here's what I can post right now.  I got all three of these "Sea Breeze" UFOs finished:

And another UFO slipped into the finishes unexpectedly when I quilted up Kelly's "Be Attitudes" top for her nephew's wedding gift. 

Then there was the stash-limited baby quilt for Catey's little guy. (Oh, but it wasn't on my goal post, so it's not an actual Finish-Along entry):

But the star finish of the quarter was Kyle's Marine Corps quilt:

Now for this quarter's attention:

1. Devon & Kyle SID work in progress  :D

This one gets top priority. Time to "pin down" the design of quilting for the outer area and get the top marked for the intense heirloom quilting it will get!! I do doubt that this will be a Q4 finish, but just in case. . . it's here on the list. More likely, you'll see it finished in 2016's first quarter. It's very intense work, and I want my best in it. Means I have to take mental breaks periodically from its needs.

Here's how I work, by the way: Mon-Fri, my quilting time is devoted to the priority finish (and right now, a certain deadline batch of work.) On Saturdays, any quilting work tends to be just whatever the heck floats my boat - which is where UFOs and other choices from below come in. Sundays, I work on scheduled BOMs. Unless, like that last week in Sept, I let the Saturday work hijack Sunday as well. Weekends often get little to no quilting, though, as I love doing things with my family.j[

These Henry Glass pieces are on deadline for October. Right now they are flimsies:

2. Secret Kitty Titty Power - this is a flimsy right now Finished

3. Secret Kitty Shuffle - this is all cut out Finished

4. Secret Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty- this is a flimsy right now Finished
5. Secret Selvages Minis Finished

**UFOs**

6, 7, 8. Sea Breeze minis - The last three flimsies from this series need finishing to round out the full set! I enjoy the trapunto work on them.

"The Nerdles" Finished

"Tootsie and Rumples" and "The Doodles"

And I really think I might get finished this quarter with Kelly's old BOM that I'm quilting for her: 

"Strolling the Block" Finished

Other UFOs that could stand to be zapped off the list this quarter:

Mermaid Fantasy

Marissa's Frog Quilt, which I don't have any photos for. It needs the last border attached and to be quilted.

And this one that the whole family had helped piece, originally meant to be a comfort quilt for Kelly when she was admitted to the hospital (but she didn't survive). After 5+ years, it may just be the perfect top to become a comfort quilt for a good friend going through a very scary time:

**Community Service Quilt**

This one is a full flimsy now, and should be finished by end of November:

I would LOVE to get these season-appropriate tops quilted:

Sew Spooky: SID work finished, needs FMQ

Plums in November

This is going to get silk batting.  :)

Salt Box Harvest

Once Upon a Star

Holiday Tidings

Holly Jolly Snowman

As well as these non-seasonal personal favorites - 

Modernology:

Quiet Rebellion on the Pond

and 

Rainbow Jane:

and even these two if I find money for sending them out:

Daisy, Daisy

Starry-Eyed Over Grand Illusion

That's a crazy insane list, and obviously they won't all be finished this quarter! I'm expecting no less than 4 finishes, hoping for 7 or 8.  But the whole object of these Finish-Along quarter's intentions quilt is to greatly over-list upcoming work so that suprises can count for the drawings at the end-of-quarter linky.

Plus, I just like seeing the fantastic variety of projects I get to play with!!
