2014 Finish Along - Third Quarter

Hard to believe that the year is already half way over and we are starting the Third Quarter of the Finish Along hosted by Katy over at The Littlest Thistle.  This is the week that we blog about and make our goals, so here is my list!

1.  The Autumn Sampler - I (think) I have all the stitching done, I need to double check and make sure.  Then I have to figure out how I am framing this one.  I want to get it done soon because I will be able to hang it on the wall before we know it.  Yikes!

2.  The City Sampler Quilt - This one is still sitting basted and ready to quilt.  I was so stuck on how to quilt it, but recently I think I figured it out.  I have the thread, I just have to do it, I guess I am hesitant because this one is a monster (108" x 108".)

3.  Radiant Orchid Quilt - The top and back are finished.  I have the thread and batting.  I know how this one will be quilted.  I will be quilting this on my (new to me) Grace Gracie Quilting Frame.  I am excited to finish this one!

4.  Bloom Bloom Pow Quilt - I have the top and back done, I have the thread and batting.  Once again I will be quilting this one on the Grace Gracie frame.  I (think) this will be the next one I tackle, I have a loose idea of how to quilt it, maybe?

5.  Kaleidoscope Quilt - I have the top and back finished, I have the thread and batting.  Once again I will be quilting this one on my Grace Gracie frame.  I don't have a quilting plan...yet.

6.  Postage Stamp Quilt - I don't have an updated photo, but if you check my Instagram feed, there are some there.  This top has been put together and it has been quilted.  I finished burying the threads last night.  All I have left is to trim it up and bind it.  Almost done, but not quite.

7.  Northern Lights Quilt - I have the top and backing done, I have the thread and batting.  I know how this one will be quilted, I just need to do it!

8.  One Block Wonder Quilt - I plan to add two borders to this quilt, I have the fabric.  I also have the backing fabric thread and batting.  I have no idea how to quilt this one, I'm tempted to keep it simple and something flowing, like a basic stipple.  I guess you guys will have to wait and see.

Well there it is, eight large projects.  Almost all quilts that just need to be quilted.  I know it is a large undertaking, but I really want to finish these up, as some are intended as gifts.  I also want to get some good practice with my new frame, and I think all of these quilts will allow for a lot of learning opportunities.

Thanks Katy for hosting this Finish Along and keeping me motivated to finish my long list of WIP's!
