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.)
