2016 Finish-A-Long - Quarter One

1/8/2016

5 Comments

 
Oh my, I blogged twice in one week!  Crazy times folks, crazy times.  I am here today because I really want to participate in the Finish-A-Long this year because it is hosted by so many of my (thanks to Quiltcon) real life friends.  I am really sad that I didn't get to play along any last year with host Adrianne from On the Windy Side because I had the pleasure of meeting her at Quiltcon and she is absolutely a doll.  So I am jumping back on board and setting obtainable goals this time, (not crazy long lists) in hopes of actually getting some of my WIPs finished.  Now if you read my blog post on Wednesday (the 100 Day Challenge) you will see that some of these goals overlap and the time frame is around the same time, but the challenges are different and the finish-a-long focuses on preexisting works in progress.  So that is what I am here to talk about today.  I am going to focus on finishing two projects.

1.  My Constellations City Sampler Quilt - The top finished for over two years, basted and ready to quilt.  I have a plan to quilt it and the thread, no excuses, get this baby DONE.

2.  My Zakka Postcards Wall Hanging Quilt - The quilt top is finished and if I remember correctly this one is basted too.  My first goal will be finding it, because I don't know where it is right now.  Yikes, that is how long it has been sitting (so sad.)  So this photo of it is obviously old, sorry about that. *Edited to add:  I have found the missing quilt since writing this and yes it is basted and looks exactly like the photo above (for some reason I thought I added borders, guess not.)

That is it.  Two goals, get them both quilted, bound and then blog about them, which is actually harder for me to accomplish these days, but even if I have to stay up all night long to do it, by golly I will.

You have plenty of time to join along with the Finish-A-Long if you wish, just click on the image below to find all of the detail and information.  Hopefully next time I am blogging it will be about a finished project.

Yes you must get them quilted and finished! Good luck and thank you for participating in the FAL, on behalf of the 2016 global FAL hosts.

I love how you set your City Sampler blocks. That's one of the quilts I have on my someday (after a few WIPs are done. :) list.
