Finish-A-Long 2019 Q1 Goals

 1.  This Green BOM Sampler was on my list last quarter.  I just finished quilting it.  Just need to bind.

2.  For years, I have been meaning to sew a new cushion for our dining table bench.  I have the fabric and will not be using a pattern -- but I will be measuring better this time!

3.  This quilt is one I started -- I finished all the blocks but just don't like it very much.  I think I'll use the blocks to make HST blocks and see if that helps.

4.  Twin Quilt #1 -- No picture -- Top is finished, quilting is finished (as of today!)  Need to bind.

5.  Twin Quilt #2 -- No picture --Top is finished.  Backing is ready.  Need to baste, quilt, and bind.

6.  Book Quilt -- No picture -- top is done.  Need to prep the backing, baste, quilt, and bind.

7.  Fabric Trays -- No picture -- I wanted to make some little fabric trays for my boys before Christmas.  Didn't get to it.  

I'm linking up to the Finish-A-Long linky party at She Can Quilt.

I started this quilt a while ago, probably a couple years ago.  I just couldn't seem to get back to it.  So when it was my turn to choose the quilt pattern for the Charity Bee group I belong to, I chose to let the group help me finish the quilt!  It will be donated to "Project Linus."  (They give quilts to kids in need -- the "kids" can be up to 18-years-old.)

My original vision for this quilt came from a quilt in the book "Block Party - The Modern Quilting Bee."  So I started it out as a quilt that I intended to do on my own, but serendipitously, it ended up being finished with a "modern quilting bee."

My original blocks were being done in a QAYG (Quilt as you go) method where I'd sew/quilt each block individually.  So when I decided to finish it with my quilting bee-mates, I had them send their blocks a little big.  Then I quilted them to squares of batting block by block.  Then I sewed them together and added the backing (quilting in the ditch to attach the backing.)

When I took these pictures the other morning it was FRIGID.  I think it actually looks extra chilly in the photo -- somehow capturing the cold with a bluish tint.  Maybe when it warms up I'll try and get a better picture....actually, I think it'll be donated by then.  Thank you to the Harmony Group of do.good Stitches for helping me finish this!

 This is one of my Finish-A-Long Goals for Quarter 4 -- linking up at She Can Quilt.

This is my one and only finish for this quarter.
