Its time for the third quarter in the 2017 Finish-A-Long - I'm joining in this quarter with a list of quilts that need to be quilted !
Over previous years I've joined in the world wide event that is the Finish-A-Long and I wasn't really that successful in getting finishes done but I'm a bit more determined now (read - my UFO list is out of control!!) so I'm willing to try again - haha !!
I just checked back and discovered that the first list I made was for the 2013 Finish-A-Long and I'm very happy to say that two of the four quilts that were on my first list are actually finished (yay !!) however the quilting still needs to be done on the other two (boo !!).
I might go back through the previous lists and dig out the projects that still need finishing (hopefully there aren't too many) and put them on the last quarter list but for this quarter its all about the quilting and I'm hoping I have time to finish at least these six tops listed - all except one have appeared on at least one Finish-A-Long list !!
Nested Churn Dash quilt - a Care Circle quilt that has been sewn together and needs quilting and finishing - I can't decide on the quilting which is why this one has never been finished - I think I'm just going to do wavy lines with the walking foot if I don't come up with another idea soon !
Star blocks quilt - this quilt top needs quilting and finishing - I've got a free motion quilting plan for this one !!
Polka Dot Circles quilt - blocks need to be sewn together into a top, quilted, and finished !
Scrappy Plus quilt - blocks need to be sewn together into a top, quilted, and finished !
Pink Pez Mod Pop - this quilt is from my first Finish-A-Long post back in 2013 ! I had a quilting plan that I tried a couple of years ago and it didn't work so it was put away - I've now got another quilting design in mind so fingers crossed this one works :)
Mango Dreamin' - this quilt design is Jacquie Gering's Atomic Squares Quilt which appeared in Modern Quilts Unlimited and I just loved the mid century mod design ! I ordered the fabrics - Michael Miller's Cotton Couture in Tangerine, Star Fruit, and Mud - not long after I bought the magazine back in 2013 and since then its been waiting to be made. I started cutting the pieces sometime last year and then finally pulled it out again a few weeks ago - changed my mind on the block and colour combinations I'd originally planned - and made the top! I kind of have a plan for the quilting and I also have a plan for a few more of these quilts in different fabrics!
That's my list for this time - hope I can make my UFO list just that little bit smaller !! good luck if you're trying to get some finishes done too :)
