Looking for the Q4 Finish-A-Long link up? Click HERE to go to it.
I'm going to be honest, I'm struggling ya'll. Struggling to fit in sewing/quilting time, struggling to take photos (my biggest problem) and struggling to blog. Oh and social media, I'm virtually absent there. I guess real life has just been ruling the day. Nothing is really going on (other than 3 kids) but I'm finding it more and more difficult to get sewing time. I'm making a Q4 list because I WANT TO WORK ON SOMETHING, but this year has been a total failure in terms of the Finish-A-Long for me.
Usually I make a "How I did in the last quarter?" post but this time it was pointless. The third quarter only resulted in one finish (pajamas) that I have yet to take photos of. I didn't touch anything else and truth be told I just finished those pajamas a week before the link-up began. So there we have it. Lame.
Moving forward, what should I do about my list this quarter? Since I have been totally unmotivated to make any of the quilts that have been on the list ALL YEAR, I'm starting fresh with seasonal quilts that I really want to work on. Here we go:

Moving forward, what should I do about my list this quarter? Since I have been totally unmotivated to make any of the quilts that have been on the list ALL YEAR, I'm starting fresh with seasonal quilts that I really want to work on. Here we go:
1. Modern Maple - I intend for this to be a "fall" quilt and since the weather just turned "fall-ish" here it would be nice to work on it now. I have 20+ blocks and I'm thinking of adding a few acorn blocks possibly.
2. La Petite Salon Quilt - Obviously it is a top, I have all the supplies for the backing. I think this is a full sized quilt and would work great for my 6 year old's bed. I'm thinking a wood grain pattern quilting would be fun, maybe throw in a few acorns in the quilting. Apparently I'm thinking of acorns a lot....
3. Christmas Spiderwebs - Christmas will be here before the blink of an eye! This was a bee block from years ago. I have 24+ of these made, just need to put them into a quilt top, lap sized I think.
4. Lori Holt Christmas Quilt - I would really like to work on this one during the Christmas season. I have 4-5 blocks made. It will be a fun wall hanging.
5. Bee Sewcial Triangles - I can't have a list without this quilt top! Ugh, I need to make the backing.
6. Waterfall Raglan - This is actually a finished top that I finished earlier this year as part of the Finish-a-Long. I'm really not in love with the fit, it's about 2 sizes too big. So I think I'm going to take it apart, cut it a bit smaller and then sew it back together.
There we have it, six items. Let's see if I can work on at least some of them this quarter.
You still have time to link up yourself, create a list and play along. We love having you and encouraging you all to finish up those WIPS! Oh and possibly win some prizes too!
