2011: The Year in Review


Actual – 8 quilts and 6 baby afghans done
Participating in the PhD challenge was a good way to start the year. I always have too many projects going, so this was a good way to make myself get some of them done and out of the house.
#1 Double 4-patch that went to Binky Patrol

#2 Triangles for Libee

#3 Wonky 9-patch that went to Binky Patrol

#4 Random Triangles that I didn’t have a home for until the day I was binding it and my dil came in and asked if I could make her a quilt that she could take to work so her clients would have something to sit on if they forgot to bring a chair to outdoor events.

#5 D & T’s Wedding Quilt

#6 Oh My Stars mystery quilt – wedding gift for J and S

I also managed to finish 2 others
#7 – Stained Glass – wedding gift for Waldo and his bride


#8 – Argyle – wedding gift for J & M

After finishing #8 which took 2 months to make, and J & M’s wedding at the end of September I was wiped out and didn’t touch my sewing machine again for 4 months. Finally started A’s baby quilt last nite. He’s only 4 days old so it should get there soon enough, right? I want to get this top together this weekend so it will actually be my first quilt of 2012
What else is on the list for 2012?
Wedding quilt for M & J and I would like to make each of my kids a quilt for their birthday. I have some of these started. L’s (school time) is all cut out, J’s (pretty in pink) partially. They are all getting the same quilt, just different fabric which completely changes the look of the quilt. I have used this fat-quarter friendly pattern before and it goes together so fast. The only problem is picking fabrics.
