Star quilt

My mother-in-law "needed" a quick turn around on this quilt.  She had made a girl's quilt, not knowing the gender, and then the baby ended up being a boy.


I put loops in the grey and random triangles in the colored section.  Nothing too special, but with different colors and different quilting motifs it comes out special.

Q4 FAL


1. Heidi's Wedding Quilt: I just finished piecing and pressing it.  (I did not enjoy the pressing part!)  I need to trim a bit on the top but it's almost ready for quilting.  I just need to get the new dryer installed so I can prep the backing.  (I'm hoping to finish this within the month.  It's already cold out...)

2. Baby girl quilt (BHS).  I added some pink and put this together with leftover HSTs from another quilt.  The quilting is about half way finished and going quickly.

(The remaining items are hold overs from last quarter.  I did finish [or remove or consolidate] several items though, so I'm down six items!  This is the smallest number on my list in quite some time, and I'm hoping it gets a bit smaller this quarter too!)

3. Meshing solid HSTs: This needs to be quilted.  Densely, so the grey variations aren't so prominent.


4. Stash Bee: All the blocks are here, I just need to put them together.

5.  Scrap bee blocks 2017: This got all put together and now needs to be quilted.  I also want a scrap backing, so that needs to be pieced.

6. Temperature quilt.  I need to quilt this.  It's from 2017, so it's rather low on the priority list.

7. Rainbow Log Cabin.  I need to decide what to do with this.  I was thinking of making it reversible.  If I don't want to do that, I need to just finish it up!

8. Scrap quilt. Surprise, surprise, it needs to be quilted.

9. Winter quilt.  I have the fabric and an idea for the pattern.  It involves triangles and a sketch is somewhere on the blog.

10. Pillow with green/purple fabric.  I just want to make an easy pillow.  I just need to do it.

11. Black scrap quilt.  This is so close to being finished.  I want to square it up before binding, and the task seems daunting.


12. Green stripes.  This isn't square.  I don't really know how to square it up well (or easily), so it's been sitting around for a long time.

13. Quilt for Ryan.  I found a Bargello quilt pattern that I can scale down to a mini-quilt.  I'll just be using solid scraps for it.

Things that don't count for the Finish-a-long but I want to remember them:
14. Jeweled floors
15. Trying to fit in - left over triangles
16. Fabric from Christmas
