2 Finishes!

This quilt I made for a niece that is expected in the middle of December.

This little mini quilt has been sitting in my UFO pile for a long time! I finally finished it.

This mini is #5 on my FAL-Q3 list, and it is also #5 on my American Patchwork and Quilting UFO list. .

I Spy finish

I finished my I spy quilt. This quilt has 196 4" novelty squares. I'm so glad I participated in the swap Val had last year. I used this tutorial. I just made a bunch more blocks to make the quilt bigger.

I tried 2 new things on this quilt. The first being I tied the quilt, which I've never done before. And the 2nd is I used the backing to bind the quilt.

I love this quilt, and it's making me wonder why I left the top just sitting there for so long before I finished it.

This quilt is listed as #1 on FAL 3rd Quarter list and is #3 on my American Patchwork and Quilting UFO list.

Now I need to stock up on I spy squares again!!

I spy

I worked this morning, the youngest 3 kids spent the night at Grandma's. My husband is bringing them home after he gets done at a fishing tournament. So instead of spending all this time on FB and Pinterest, I decided to start tying a quilt. This is my first time tying a quilt, so after watching a few YouTube videos. I jumped in.

Progress update

I took on American Patchwork's UFO challenge.

Back in December of 2016, I made a list.

My list now:

I completed #1. This was gifted to my great nephew.

#2, I haven't done anything to.

I have the backing for #3, just need to piece it together, I'm planning on tying this quilt.

#4. I need to figure out how to square this one up.

#5. I haven't touched this one.

#6. Another one I completed.

#7 and #8: I"ve made some progress on my PL albums. I"ve made the most on my 2016 album, I need to get these done and start on 2017

#9. Sewing machine cover, I haven't done anything to.

#10, my rainbow cat quilt. I got the top complete.

#11. I completed the quilt top.

#12. Crazy Quilt, another one I haven't touched.

I've completed a couple, and have made progress on a couple. I hope to get a few more done soon!

Finish-A-Long Q3

I only finished one of my projects last quarter, so this list looks a lot like the last time.

1. I Spy Quilt

2. Rainbow cat quilt,(I did get the top together since my last list.)

3. My Splendid Sampler Quilt (I did get the borders added since last list)

4. Jelly Roll Race Quilt

Splendid Sampler

I finished my Splendid Sampler Quilt top!! (It will have to wait until after summer vacation to quilt).

Cat Quilt

It's been quite a while since I last posted. First the whole family got sick-we had strep, ear infections and bronchitis going around. Everybody is all better now!!

I did get to work on my cat quilt, in between taking gun safety with one of my girls, and going to other school activities.

I had the quilt all laid out on my bed, and my 12 year old daughter came over to me with my camera and this picture. A cat on a cat quilt!

I got the whole top sewn together!! Now it will probably be a while before I get to quilting it. Summer vacation is coming in a month!!

Linking up with Amanda, and Sarah.

Orange cats

Our plans for the weekend ended up getting changed. We were supposed to go to South Dakota and meet our new nephew, but a car ended up breaking down. So today I took out my orange scraps and finished up the orange cats.

Finish-A-Long-Q2

It's time to make a list for Q2 of the 2017 Finish-A-Long Challenge .

My list is going to look a lot like my Q1 list .

1. I need to finish quilting this play mat for my 3 year old.

2. This I Spy Quilt. I'm thinking of tying this one. (Which I've never done, but my mom said she will help me.)

3. I would like to get the Winter Solstice Quilt done. (I'm not even sure when the last block comes out, so this will most likely end up on Q3!)

4. My rainbow cat quilt. (All I have left is the orange cats, I was really hoping that the color picked for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge was orange this month.

5. My Splendid Sampler Quilt (Going to add borders to this one)

6. I need to finish this Jelly Roll Race Quilt.

7. And this mini quilt.

8. And this machine cover.

9. Now that I'm quilting that other playmat, not sure what I'll do with this. If I'll finish it, or pack it away.

10. And this Crazy Quilt.

Challenge updates

This month over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, this month's challenge is Multicolor fabric.

I'm going to dig into my novelty bin and cut these up into usable pieces. I have plans for a few different I spy quilts. One I hope to make and give as a Christmas present to my brother's family.

And this month at All People Quilt UFO challenge the number picked was 11.

My #11 is my Splendid Sampler Quilt. At the time I made the list I had 71 blocks. I now have 83 blocks done. I've sewn 80 of them into a quilt top. I plan on adding a border to this quilt and than quilting it.
