2014 Finish Along - First Quarter

1/15/2014

6 Comments

 
I am happy to be joining along in the third year of the Finish Along, this year being hosted by Katy at The Littlest Thistle.  This year I am setting smaller goals for myself and am going to work hard at getting them completed in a timely manner.  Honestly I am tired of carrying things over and over again.  Each quarter I will pick 2 quilts to finish (Ideally one that is already a top and one that is needing to be put together,) 2-3 smaller projects (things that can be completed in a day or two) and an optional extra project.  The optional extra project is one that I don't care if I finish it during the quarter, but if I do get it done, then great for me, otherwise, I'm not stressing that one.  I am also putting a lot of thought into the list and being very deliberate with my choices, because honestly I have over 20+ works in progress and I know that I can not get them all done in this one year. That being said, here is my list, and hopefully by the end of the quarter, all of these will be completed!

1.  Small Project - First up are two medium sized open wide pouches (tutorial by Noodlehead,) you can see the patchwork exteriors above.  Other than the exterior being pieced and having the rest of the supplies, these need to be put together.

2.  Small Project - The Riley Blake Modern Quilt Guild Challenge, I have begun piecing, and know that this will become an over-sized beach bag.  This one has a deadline of mid February, so I better get to it!

3.  Small Project - Construct another Rebecca Bag, as per requested by my mother.  I have the fabric cut out, the supplies have been bought (as of yesterday) and it is awaiting construction.  Since I have made this pattern before, I imagine it will go together quickly.
1.  Quilt (Large Project) - Finish my City Sampler quilt.  I have all 100 blocks sewn.  I have ordered my sashing fabrics and my backing fabric.  As soon as my sashing fabrics arrive, I will buckle down and get this quilt top sewn up by the end of the month.  Then in the following two months focus on getting it quilted.  Shown above are an assorted 18 blocks that I photographed last year and never got around to blogging about.

2.  Quilt (Large Project) - My Lattice Work quilt is basted and simply waiting to be quilted.

Optional Project - Finish up my Autumn Sampler.  I have been steadily stitching on this one, pretty much every day for the last few months  I can actually see the finish line, but don't know how long it will take to honestly finish it.  If I do, great, if not, that is ok too, because I LOVE working on this.

A total of six project, three small, two large and one optional.  I can do it!

I like the idea of grouping them by size and whether you want to get them done! Good luck :o)

I love how you've planned your list, such a great idea to do it this way!
Your City Sampler blocks are some of my most favorite, i'm such a sucker for that Constellations line. I can't wait to see this quilt finished up!
