FAL 2014 Q2 List

The list for FAL #Q2 is going to be more extensive than my first quarter, and I know I will not get through it all.

1. My Craftsy BOM 2012 that I did not baste or quilt from Q1.
2. My Scrappy 5" x 7" low volume rectangles from Q1. This is where I first saw this design, and just now recently was able to find the Flying Farfalle Quilt by Film in the Fridge
3. Layer Cake Sampler Quilt Along from Material Girl Quilts with V & Co layer cake.
4. Christmas Scrappy Trip quilt with jelly rolls of  "In From the Cold" by Kate Spain; for me!
5. Cat QAL (from Oh, Fransson! Cat Quilt A Long) in black and white with turquoise for the sashing; for a family member. The fabrics are purchased and ready to cut.
6. Cat QAL (from  Oh Fransson! Cat Quilt Along) in pastels with white for the sashing; for a teacher. The fabrics are purchased and ready to cut.
7. Positively Quilt in batiks; for a teacher. The fabrics all cut and ready to go together. This is a pattern I wrote up for myself after seeing this quilt on Flickr. I loved that quilt so much I made one in VERY similar colors, because it just made me smile when I looked at it! This one and #6 need to be done before school is out at the end of May.
8. Scrappy 9 patch with a solid for odd blocks. All the 9 patches are done, just need to cut the solid. These were a swap.
9. Hawaiian Christmas Quilt by Nancy Chong of Pacific Rim Quilts. This has been a work in progress for 5 years and I only have 2 more blocks to applique.  Then put the top together and baste. I kind of wanted to hand quilt this one.
10. Over the River & Through the Woods by Crabapple Hill Pattern Co.. I have two of the panels done and third one started. Fabric for scrappy blocks purchased and some put together.
11. Blue and Yellow Irish Chain all hand sewn, I started this probably 12 years ago, and not quite sure how I am going to finish it.
12. Arkansas Crossroads using scraps, some blocks are made.
13. Solids, Black and White quilt by Red Pepper Quilts
14. X's and O's quilt from a tutorial from MSQC. This will be a quilt for a niece of mine.
15. Rainbow Stars by Ellison Lane Quilts. The fabric has been chosen for about 9 months now and is just patiently waiting for me to start on it.
16. Baby Boy Quilt in brown, blue and cream. This is just a simple pattern. The top is done and basted, now to quilt it
17. Mini Swoon by Thimbleblossoms, pattern is purchased and I think I will do it in yellows and aqua.
18. Aeroplane Bag by Sew Sweetness. Fabric is purchased and on my cutting table.
19. Cargo Bag by Noodlehead will be using the same fabric as the Aeroplane Bag.
20.  Mega Churn Dash with brown and white from the book by Kathy Doughty called Adding Layers. I first saw this quilt on Wanda's blog of Exuberant Color.

FAL 2014 Q1 Finish #3

I have finished quilting and binding this quilt from my original list. The pattern is called Scrappy Mountain Majesties by Bonnie K. Hunter. I know my husband really likes this one and the best part? I used only scraps to make the top! The top measures 58" x 76", so it is a nice size!  I did have to buy some backing but I got it on sale for $6/yard!

I have not named it, as I find that very hard to do. I think I still have enough scraps to make another, but I would like to perhaps try a two-color scheme, either blue and low volume or red and low volume. My grandson even likes this one because of the blues.

Thanks for looking!

FAL 2014 Q1 Finish #2

I finished making a back, basting, quilting and binding my gray herringbone quilt about a month ago. I really like this one, as it is very simple. It measures 58" x 68" and is made with a Moda Bella gray (not sure which one) and Moda Bella White #97. It is bound with a yellow polka dot and backed with the number print from Ikea. I really like this one as it is very simple, kind of my style. Here is my original list. . .

FAL 2014 Q1 Finish #1

I started with the easiest one to finish, #5 from my list last week. It was a table runner that I started years ago, and I am not sure why I never finished, except that I did not have the backing. I did have the binding made though, so that was a bonus! Here is a picture of it:

It is even in time for this Valentine's Holiday!

I am almost done with my #2 on the list, a gray herringbone quilt. It should be done by this coming Monday.

Happy sewing!

I was not sure how to link back to the first post, but here it is.

Finish Along 2014 Q1

I am trying to get a new blog up and running so I can participate in this year's Finish Along hosted by Katy from The Littlest Thistle. I need to list my W.I.P./U.F.O.'s that I have in my sewing room, so here goes.

 1. My quilt top from the Craftsy B.O.M. 2012. This top is done, the back is made, it just needs to be basted and quilted. Since I am feeling more confident in my FMQing now this should be a possibility.

2. Gray Herringbone quilt top: I saw this on Pinterest and made my own pattern, I have the back made, just needs to be basted and quilted.

3. I saw this on Bloglovin', but I can't remember from who, and I made my own version. I have the backing for this too, just needs to be basted and quilted.

4. My version of Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Mountain Majesties. You can find this pattern on her website under the Free Pattern Tab. It needs a back yet, and of course to be basted and quilted.

5. A Valentine's table runner that I have had the top made for 4 years, just got the backing last week, and it is basted. Just needs to be quilted and bound. This should be an easy and quick finish.

I think this should be enough to get me started! I have lots more quilts in the works, but that list will have to wait for the Q2!
