soul searching finish
from Making A Lather
I finished this quilt last week, but couldn't get a picture. I made it last year as part of the rainbow scrap challenge. Each month of the color, I made a block. By the end of the year, I had a quilt. I really like following along each month to use up scraps and to stay inspired. I have seen some remarkable quilters and their projects.
This quilt was great at using 2 1/2 inch strips of scraps. I tried to do a machine binding, and I am still happier with a hand sewn binding.
This quilt is ... read more

Finally A Finish!
from Life In Pieces
It's been a nice long weekend. I have some vacation that has to be used or I give it back, so I was able to take last Friday off. It's been nice to get some extra time in the sewing room for a change. I used my time wisely, Vintage Dresses is finally finished.

rainbow finish
from Making A Lather
As my first finish along finish for the 4th quarter, I have finished last year's rainbow scrap challenge quilt.
All it needed was quilting and binding.
I think it looks great as a rainbow quilt. It was much larger than expected. 72 x 82 At the same time I worked on the block in the color of the month, I made the hsts in that color.
The backing was a large piece of stash fabric with 2 inch polka dots all over. very cute
My finish along list is here

2019 Finish Along: 4th Quarter Ambitions
from Life In Pieces
The year of 2019 is winding down way faster then I'd like it too. Now it's time to decide what can be finished in the three short months left in the year. My third quarter ambitions for the 2019 Finish Along were a complete bust, zero, nada, zilch finishes for the quarter. Is there any hope for fourth quarter finishes?
Maybe. There were no finishes last quarter, but there was good progress on two or three projects. A shoe in finish is Vintage Dresses.

4th quarter finish along
from Making A Lather
It's the fourth quarter for the 2019 finish along. And it is time to make a list of what I might get finished in the next three months. This is my first year joining the finish along. I think it has helped me actually finish a few extra projects. Making the list is hard, since we can list more than we finish, but not less. So it is ok to go big.
I also have a list I want to do by month - One monthly goal at elm street quilts. I find that a little easier to keep track ...
