4th Quarter Finish-A-Long Goals
It's been a slow production year for me in the quilting department and I really don't expect a change as we head into the holidays, but a girl's gotta have goals, right? So here are my goals for the 4th Quarter of the 2017 Finish-A-Long.....
1. 2017 Quilt Guild Challenge Quilt: Our guild challenge this year was a row quilt. Each month a new block was drawn for a row in the quilt. I'm about 4 months behind but this is going to be one of my main focuses this year to finish on time (don't ask me about last year's challenge or the year before that or the year before that!).
2. Custom Order Recipe Tea Towel: I have another design client! WooHoo! To design a custom recipe tea towel and produce 6 tea towels from the design for Christmas presents. This is a have-to-get-done so I know I'll have at least one project completed this quarter - barring any disasters (I don't want to jinx myself!).
3. & 4. Mini Halloween Quilts: I finished the bat mini in time for the 3rd quarter link-up so I only have the haunted house and cat to do yet. Hopefully in time for Halloween?
5. Frivols Kindred Quilt: I started this one when we were wintering in Texas in February so I'll probably take this one with me again if we get to head south during November. I'm not hopeful - on both accounts of getting the quilt done and getting to go south in November.
6. Christmas Star Quilt: I made this quilt many years ago and did some basic line quilting on my DSM. The lines are few and far between so I decided I wanted to put this on my long arm and requilt it. I started in July, then broke my elbow and hands. I had to take it off the machine to quilt my Moda Bella Challenge quilt so I'm hoping to get this back on the frame and get it finished before Christmas.
7. Bella Solids Circle Quilt: Speaking of my Moda Bella Challenge quilt, I took all of my left over scraps and have cut it all up to make a 42" x 48" circle quilt with a pieced backing. I think I'm going to call it "Just the Atoms" since it will have the atom circles but not the woven molecule circles that were in my challenge quilt.
There they are, in all their unfinished glory. Hoping to have a flurry of finishes to finish out the year strong! I'll be linking this post up with Capitola Quilter for the Finish-A-Long Quarter 4 Goals.

ReplyDeleteGood luck with these finishes...some times its hard to get things accomplished but we just keep moving forward.
ReplyDeleteYou know don't you that my favourite is the moda circles quilt ? You will of course have to prioritise the tea towels which I love as well
