Since I have quite a few projects I want to tackle this
year, I thought this would be a good way of keeping me on track, motivated and
accountable. Not to mention the fun of
seeing everyone else’s projects and finishes!
By the end of June, I'm hoping to finish the following projects:
1. Custom Quilt:
I have to have this one done by April 22, 2016 as that is
the agreed upon delivery date with my client.
I ran into a little bit of a snag with one of the blues, so my timelines
are tighter than anticipated. Fingers
crossed no other issues pop up ;)
2. Butterfly Pillow:
After tackling paper piecing for the first time earlier this
year, I have one butterfly block left.
Good thing too, as I just received a specific request from my mum to
have a butterfly pillow made just for her.
I always say things happen for a reason!
3. Riley Blake Challenge:
Thankfully the deadline for this challenge got extended to
May 31, 2016! I have the design plotted
out. The fabric washed and ironed. Now to get to tackle the cutting, piecing,
quilting and binding! This will be the
next project I tackle after the custom quilt.
4. Libs Elliott Weight of Love Quilt:
I'm hoping to get my Weight of Love Quilt finished by the
end of June. I don’t love the idea of
having unfinished projects lying around.
So I'm hoping to squeeze this one in sometime in June. The hexie is done, I just need to appliqué it
to a backing, quilt her up and then bind.
Not as many projects as others have on the go, but that isn't
the point. Rather, this is to encourage
us to finish the projects we have on the go, have fun along the way and meet some fellow quilters. That is what quilting is all about after all
;)
