The 2018 Finish-a-Long program, combined with 18 in 2018, worked tremendously well for me during the first quarter - I made a list that was purposefully over-ambitious, thinking I'd be happy with 4 finishes, but I actually finished 8 of them! So I'm doing the same thing, with a ridiculously long list.
First, so you have a tiny bit of eye-candy, here are the current views at my piecing and quilting machines:
Tulip Garden - A kit that has been in my storage probably since 2010ish, I just need to add the borders to finish this flannel quilt top that I've been working on here and there the past few weeks.
Dolly's Vintage Dresden Plates - A customer quilt that should have had a good start from yesterday afternoon to share today, but I broke my hook assembly, so it's in limbo until Laura The Magnificent can come over to replace the machinery and set the timing. . . Itching to get to work on this!

And
now, here's my Q2 LIST OF QUILTS for the complete finish by
June 30th:
(I'd be truly flabbergasted if all of these were checked off, and very happy with 6.)

I feel so lacking in things to finish because I only had 2 items when I got back into quilting. Now I have 5 hanging in the craft closet! Maybe I need to have my own finish up challenge?
ReplyDeleteBroken Hook assembly. Start watching the timing videos! Scary but you feel great when you accomplish it.
ReplyDeleteI totally read that as "baby quilt for Heather" and had a whaaaaaaat moment!
ReplyDeleteWhat an ambitious list! Can’t wait to see how well you do!
